U of M Athletics Department to visit Mille Lacs County

With the first on-campus stadium in 28 years, the sounds, sights and excitement of University of Minnesota football will echo across campus and new game-day traditions will be born with a sense of pride felt among Gopher fans across the state. The U of M is proud to represent all 87 Minnesota counties and Gopher Athletics is reaching out to engage the entire state of Minnesota over the next 15 months with a statewide tour.

The U athletics department will visit Mille Lacs County from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 10. The Gopher Wagon, along with Gopher Athletics Director Joel Maturi, will be at the Milaca Dairy Queen, 415 10th Ave S.E., Milaca. The event will include prizes, games, giveaways and an opportunity to take a virtual tour of the TCF Bank Stadium.

Construction of the steel stadium structure has been underway for several months and masonry work on the exterior of the building has begun. The stadium will be fully enclosed by fall 2008 when interior finishing will begin. The TCF Bank Stadium is slated for substantial completion in July 2009 and will open for the first Gopher football game of the season on Sept. 12, 2009.
