There are some things that are just part of being a Minnesotan. Early mornings on the lake, watching the Vikings fight for every yard on a Sunday afternoon, and a deep pride in the brands and traditions that have shaped this state for generations.
Today, two of those traditions are joining forces.
Lund Boats is proud to announce a new partnership with the Minnesota Vikings: a collaboration that brings together two iconic Minnesota brands built on the same foundation: craftsmanship, performance, community, and an unshakeable connection to the people who call this state home.
Lund has been building boats in Minnesota since 1948. The Vikings have been rallying this state since 1961. Both organizations have earned the loyalty of generations of Minnesotans, not just through what they do, but through what they stand for.
"For decades, Lund has represented craftsmanship, durability, and performance on the water," said Jeromie Johnston, President of Lund Boats. "The Minnesota Vikings embody that same commitment on the field. Together, we're celebrating the traditions that make this state special from early mornings at the lake to Sundays at U.S. Bank Stadium."
That's not marketing language. That's just Minnesota.
We're kicking things off in a big way. Starting today, you can find Lund at the Northwest Sport Show, March 5–8 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, one of the region's premier outdoor events and the perfect place to celebrate this partnership with the community that inspires everything we do.
And on Sunday, March 8, Vikings mascot Viktor the Viking will make a special appearance at Lund Booth #401. Stop by for photos, autographs, and a first look at what this partnership has in store. It's going to be a great time, bring the family.
This is just the beginning. Throughout the year, fans and Lund customers can look forward to co-branded content, in-stadium visibility at U.S. Bank Stadium, player engagement opportunities, and exclusive promotions that bridge the worlds of outdoor adventure and Vikings football. Lund will also support select Vikings community initiatives across the state because both organizations believe that showing up for Minnesota goes beyond the boat ramp and the football field.
Lund was founded in 1948 with a simple mission: build the most durable, functional aluminum fishing boats in the industry. More than 75 years later, that commitment hasn't changed. Lund boats are known for industry-leading resale value and a legacy of being passed down from one generation to the next because when something is built right, it lasts.
That's the same pride the Vikings bring to the field every season. And it's the same pride Minnesotans bring to everything they love about this state.
We can't wait to celebrate that with you.
See you at Booth #401.
