Prince Honored At U.S. Bank Stadium Halftime Show

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Fans in the Twin Cities were out in full force for Sunday night's Vikings-Packers game at U.S. Bank Stadium, and had the lights out in honor of the late Prince.

Members of Prince's band, the New Power Generation, joined the Minnesota Orchestra for a version of "Purple Rain."

Then purple confetti fell on the fans.

Social media gave fans who weren't able to snag tickets to the Vikings-Packers game a taste of what it was like during the tribute.

Thank you to Jearlyn Steele and all for a fabulous tribute to Prince during halftime
