Private memorial set for former Vikings head coach Bud Grant

The family of the late Bud Grant has announced that they will be holding a private memorial service for the former Minnesota Vikings coach, who passed away on March 11th at the age of 95. The family has also revealed that there will be a public celebration of Grant’s life at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, although a date for the event has not yet been set.

Grant is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, having led the Vikings to four Super Bowl appearances and 11 division championships during his tenure from 1967-1983. He is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, inducted in 1994.

In lieu of flowers, the Grant family has requested that memorials be made to either the Minnesota Vikings Foundation or the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) Foundation. Both organizations align with Grant’s passion for supporting veterans and their families.
