VIKINGS TO HAND OUT
ADRIAN PETERSON POSTER FOLLOWING PRESEASON GAME VS. PITTSBURGH
STEELERS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH QWEST
The Minnesota
Vikings will distribute complimentary 24x36 inch posters of Rookie
of the Year RB Adrian
Peterson to all fans as they depart the Metrodome following the Vikings-Steelers preseason game
on Saturday, August 23.
The image, which was taken from an original painting by
St. Paul native artist Robert Blehert, features Peterson in
action, breaking free for a touchdown.
“Adrian Peterson
demonstrates not only great athleticism, but such a joy in what
he does, that it’s nearly impossible not to feel happy
watching him,” Blehert said. “I tried to capture some of
those elements in the painting titled, ‘Breaking Free.’”
Blehert’s work has
also been featured on a Twins poster of Johan Santana two
seasons ago, and his painting of Minnesota legend Herb Brooks is now being used to help raise funds for the
Herb Brooks Foundation. The artist’s work can be found in the
Field of Dreams Store in the Mall of America or at robertblehert.com.
For tickets to the
Vikings-Steelers game, please call TicketMaster
at 651-989-5151 or visit vikings.com.
