U.S. Bank Stadium News & Notes - March 4

Three Vikings Alumni Commissioned for U.S. Bank Stadium Art Collection

When the artists whose work will be commissioned at U.S. Bank Stadium were announced last October, former Viking and Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee Carl Eller was among them. Now, Eller will be joined in the collection by two of his former teammates.

Announced earlier this week, former Vikings Matt Blair and Jim Marshall will also have their work on display throughout U.S Bank Stadium. Blair, who took up photography when he got his hands on his first camera as a Vikings rookie, will share historic behind-the-scenes photos from his playing days. Marshall referred to himself as the Silver Eagle during his NFL career and he often drew an eagle on his gear that became synonymous with him. For his piece in U.S. Bank Stadium, Marshall will recreate the drawing.

Last October, Eller was one of three dozen local artists selected from more than 1,100 submissions and an extensive review process. Eller took up sculpting following his playing days and will display some of his Minnesota-themed sculptures in the new building.
