The rollerdome returns to U.S. Bank Stadium next month, a popular event started at the Metrodome that allows in-line skaters to use the concrete concourses during the winter.

The first chance will be Dec. 13 from 5-8 p.m. and is open to all ages. Skaters must bring their own equipment, including safety gear.

Tickets go on sale at the stadium ticket office at 10 a.m. next Tuesday. They will not be available online. If the event isn't sold out, tickets will be available at the door the evening of the event. SMG, which runs the events, will sell about 300 tickets for the first skate, then adjust that number based on feedback and skater flow, spokeswoman Lisa Niess said.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Additional dates will be announced later.

The skating start coincides with the first night of running at the stadium. Those dates were previously announced.
