Kubiak announced his decision in a statement Thursday afternoon:
“It’s been the honor of my lifetime to work for 36 seasons as an NFL player and coach. I’ve been on a football field for most of my life, and now I look forward to stepping away from the game and enjoying more time with my family and friends.
“I offer my sincere thanks to the owners and fans of the Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers for giving me opportunities to be a part of this great game and for treating me and my family so well over the years.
There’s no question that the service industry took a hit this year.
International and domestic travel was halted for several months and later discouraged in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus. This limited the need for lodging.
The week ending Dec. 12 saw an occupancy rate of nearly 38% a decrease of over 37% compared with the same week last year. And the average daily rate has fallen by nearly 32%, to $85.88 that same week, according to data from STR.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul market itself hit another mark the week ending Dec. 12. It was ranked among the lowest markets for occupancy rates, with a rate of over 24%, according to STR.
