GigSmart connects Minneapolis stadiums, arenas, and event venues with qualified workers — from setup crews and ushers to concession staff and security — available same day.
Minneapolis-St. Paul has a event calendar built around a short summer and a long indoor season — and both ends run at full intensity. U.S. Bank Stadium, the 66,860-seat retractable-roof venue in downtown Minneapolis, hosted Super Bowl LII and regularly draws Final Four and major concert productions requiring 2,000+ event staff. Come late August, the Minnesota State Fair at the St. Paul fairgrounds takes over: 2 million+ attendees over 12 days, making it the single largest annual staffing event in the metro by a wide margin. Target Center (Timberwolves and Lynx, 150+ events/year) and Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul (Wild, top-tier concerts) provide steady arena-season demand from fall through spring. With 37,774 workers employed in arts, entertainment, and recreation across the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington metro, the Twin Cities market is both competitive and seasonal — the operators who plan staffing early secure the best workers.
