The Minnesota Vikings have really gone and outdone themselves this time. Today they announced that their new stadium, The Hormel Chili Dome, will feature a display of local artwork.
They are accepting submissions of “artwork created by local artists and showcases Vikings history, Minnesota sports history, and other regional history.”
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
“This is an opportunity for Minnesotans and Vikings fans to further impact the design of this stadium with artwork that recognizes the history of the Vikings and celebrates the many attributes of this state and region. When fans see this art throughout the building, it will further emphasize that this stadium is for their benefit and enjoyment,” Vikings owner Mark Wilf said.
Naturally, we are big fans of the local Minnesota art scene, so we are super excited about this development. And you should be too.
We’ve pulled together some samples which we feel exemplify both Minnesota and the people who live there. Soon to be on display in The Hormel Chili Dome.
