A drawing of Lane Stadium signed by Michael Vick and seven other Virginia Tech football stars will be auctioned Saturday. Proceeds are going to the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund, set up after the mass killings at Virginia Tech in April.
Brian Hart went to work on the piece after a student gunman killed 32 people and committed suicide April 16 on the Blacksburg campus.
He spent two months this summer tracking down eight of the nine former players whose names adorn Lane Stadium's banners that honor its greatest players, with the exception of the late Frank Loria.
Hart visited Vick's Hampton Roads home to get the Atlanta Falcons quarterback's signature weeks before dogfighting charges put Vick in the national spotlight.
Hart said he doesn't know if Vick's autograph will affect the value of the print. But he said he would have sought out Vick even after the star's legal troubles began.
Besides Vick, the print also is signed by Frank Beamer, Corey Moore, Carroll Dale, Jake Grove, Jim Pyne, Bruce Smith and Cornell Brown.
