Minnesota Football: Celebrating 10 years of TCF Bank Stadium

Ten years.

Saturday, September 12th, 2009.

Ten years ago today the Minnesota Gophers took the field against Air Force at the brand new TCF Bank Stadium. It was picturesque (beautiful sunset) but not perfect (mistimed flyover). But it didn’t need to be error free to be beautiful. It was a night Gopher fans had been waiting and hoping on for years, some would argue from the moment they were pushed into the soulless cavern of the Metrodome.

To celebrate this anniversary, members of the TDG staff put together thoughts and memories of their experiences at The Bank.
