Eden Prairie, MN (November 19, 2015) – The Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) announced today the addition of a “Legacy Ship” to Medtronic Plaza at U.S. Bank Stadium. Designed by RipBang Studios, a division of Minneapolis-based NELSON, and funded privately by the Vikings, the feature will transform the typical stadium marquee video board into a sculptural landmark that will serve as the anchor to Medtronic Plaza.
Inspired by legendary Viking ships and designed to honor local ancestry, the Legacy Ship will incorporate contemporary metals, stone, concrete and wood and will include landscaping, theatrical lighting, sounds and smoke effects.
