We look forward to exposing even more Vikings fans to Polaris off-road vehicles, motorcycles, snowmobiles and work vehicles through our partnership,” said Scott Wine, Polaris Chairman & CEO.
Polaris’ extensive offering of powersports, motorcycles, utility and work vehicles will be featured in and around U.S. Bank Stadium on Vikings game days.

Anyone who goes to www.gtcuw.org/polaris between today and Dec. 1 and makes a donation or pledges to volunteer will be entered to win (subject to applicable rules).
“With Polaris’ strong reputation as a vibrant Minnesota brand and their significant community presence, this partnership was a natural fit,” said Mark Wilf, Vikings Owner/President. “Not only will Polaris enhance the game experience for fans we will also collaborate on community outreach efforts, including two offseason Vikings Children’s Fund events.
