<p class="blog-para">What is now known as Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport started in 1919 as Speedway Field when several local groups came together to take control of the former bankrupt Twin City Speedway race track. The first hangar was a wooden structure constructed in 1920 for airmail services. The Minneapolis Park Board took possession of Speedway Field on June 1, 1928, and in 1929, passenger services began. In 1923, the airport was renamed "World-Chamberlain Field" for the World War I pilots Ernest Groves World and Cyrus Foss Chamberlain. In 1944, the site was renamed "Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airport/World-Chamberlain Field", with "International" replacing "Metropolitan" four years later. Today, it is rare to see the World-Chamberlain portion of the name used anywhere.In 2005, the cities of Minneapolis, Eagan, and Richfield and the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority filed a lawsuit against the MAC, which was settled with a consent decree in 2007. The terms in the consent decree specified levels of sound insulation for homes within a fixed boundary of projected aircraft noise exposure around MSP. Upon the completion of the noise mitigation programme in 2014, more than 15,000 single-family homes and 3,303 multi-family units around MSP were provided with noise mitigation at a cost of $95 million. A 2022 J.D. Power survey concluded that, ranking the largest US and Canadian airports on a 1,000-point scale based on traveler satisfaction, the airport received a score of 800, ranking it the best airport in the US and Canada. MSP's high ranking was attributed to its recently updated facilities.</p>

<p class="blog-para">The terminal buildings are directly located off of Minnesota State Highway 5. Several other major highways that border the airport are Minnesota State Highway 62, Minnesota State Highway 77, and Interstate 494.Metro Transit, the region's public transportation provider, operates the Blue Line, a light rail route, on the airport grounds. Travelers can use the line to connect between the two terminals. No fare is charged for passengers only travelling between Terminals 1 and 2, and service between the terminals operates all day (the rest of the line shuts down for about four hours overnight). Beyond the airport, the Blue Line travels to downtown Minneapolis and the Mall of America in nearby Bloomington. Metro Transit also operates bus route 54 to Terminal 1.</p>
