MINNEAPOLIS -- The art gallery the Minnesota Vikings are planning for U.S. Bank Stadium has a growing creative presence from some of the greatest players in team history.
The Vikings announced Tuesday that linebacker Matt Blair and defensive end Jim Marshall, both members of the team's Ring of Honor, will join Hall of Fame defensive end Carl Eller in contributing original artwork for the gallery inside the team's $1.1 billion new home.
The privately funded collection is now slated to include more than 500 works from 44 artists, including 36 from Minnesota. Eller was one of the original 34 commissioned for the gallery last fall.
