Randy Moss Makes Headlines: Donates Entire $10.8 Million to Minnesota Vikings’ New Stadium Project
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA — In a heartfelt and unexpected move, NFL legend Randy Moss has donated his entire $10.8 million contribution to the construction of the Minnesota Vikings’ new stadium.
“Vikings pride lives on in me wherever I go,” Moss said emotionally at a press conference on Monday. “This is my second home — the place that shaped me into the man and the player I am today.”
A Grand Gesture for His Former Team
Moss, who played for the Vikings from 1998 to 2004 and is considered one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history, said the donation is a “gift of gratitude to the fans” and a way to ensure future generations get to feel the energy of football in Minnesota.
His donation will fund modern design upgrades in the new stadium, including a Hall of Legends honoring Vikings greats, a youth training center, and a dedicated area to celebrate Moss’s own career.
Community Reacts
Moments after the news broke, social media was flooded with praise and appreciation for Moss. Vikings team owner Mark Wilf called the donation “one of the most inspiring and generous acts in the team’s history.”
“Randy is not just a legend on the field — he’s now a legend in the hearts of the Minnesota community,” Wilf shared.
A Lasting Legacy
With over 15,000 receiving yards and 156 touchdowns in his career, Randy Moss was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. But according to Moss, “Nothing compares to leaving a mark where it all began.”
Groundbreaking for the new stadium is scheduled for early 2026, funded by state support, private sponsors — and now, the heart of a legend.
