2 Arrested After Climbling Stadium During NFL Match in Anti-DAPL Protest

Description

Two protesters were arrested after climbing into the rafter of the US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and unfurling a large banner protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, or DAPL, during an NFL game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The pair rolled out a large banner reading "US Bank Divest, #No DAPL" and dangled for some time to bring attention to their protest before climbing back down and surrendering themselves to police officers waiting below. Minneapolis-based US Bank is reportedly a major investor in the controversial Dakota Pipeline project. Since it was approved in late July, 1,172 mile long pipeline has sparked outrage among Native American communities, North Dakota locals, US citizens, and environmentalists around the world.
