MSFA AND VIKINGS TO LAUNCH LEGACY BRICKS PROGRAM AT NEW MINNESOTA STADIUM

Fans can etch names in Minnesota history with personalized

brick paver on new stadium plaza

Minneapolis, MN (March 26, 2015)- The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) and the Minnesota Vikings have launched a Legacy Bricks program as part of the New Minnesota Stadium set to open in 2016. Expected to be located near the five pivoting glass doors on the nearly three-acre west plaza, the personalized bricks will allow a limited number of stadium users to etch their names in Minnesota history.

"Launching the Legacy Brick program is a unique addition to this world-class stadium and will give Minnesotans a way to be part of the stadium's history," said MSFA Chair Michele Kelm-Helgen.

Beginning today, the following three paver styles are available for purchase:

· 4"x8" Paver - $160 (includes up to three lines of text)

· 8"x8" Paver - $295 (includes up to six lines of text)

· 8"x8" Logo Paver - $360 (includes Vikings Norseman logo and up to four lines of text)

Along with the personally engraved brick located on the plaza, fans will receive a complimentary replica and an official certificate of ownership. Additional replicas, as well as custom-engraved display cases, are also available for purchase. Upon installation, brick owners will receive a locator map to easily find their pavers when visiting the stadium.

"This was a perfect opportunity to recognize the passionate fans who have supported this team for more than 50 years," said Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf.

The Legacy Bricks program is officially provided by the MSFA, with net proceeds helping enhance the stadium's three-acre public plaza. Cold Spring Granite Company, a Minnesota company, will be crafting the pavers with stone quarried from Minnesota. Sales and service support for the program will be provided by Fund Raisers Ltd., a leader in the engraving industry that has fulfilled similar campaigns for multiple teams in both professional and college sports.
