Gophers to get an On-Campus Home

Written by In The Bleachers on .

The Minnesota House-Senate conferees agreed late Friday to help finance a on-campus football stadium for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. According to the Star Tribune, the state would make 25 annual payments of $10.25 million each beginning in 2007 to help cover the university's debt service on a 50,000-seat open-air stadium costing an estimated $248 million. The new 50,000 seat stadium will be named TCF Bank Stadium and it will open in time for the 2009 College Football Season.
