New Stadium Logo!
Gopher head football Coach Tim Brewster will be rolling out the construction equipment alongside representatives from M. A. Mortenson Company and TCF Bank to officially kick-off the construction phase of TCF Bank Stadium. The event, which includes the unveiling of the stadium logo, will start at 11:30 a.m., July 11, on the stadium construction site.
Before the logo unveiling, media members will have the chance to view a full outline of the future football field, end zones and all, from an elevated position above the site. Following a short news conference and unveiling, coach Brewster will give a guided tour of the field.
Ken Sorensen, Mortenson vice president, and Paul Kitching, project manager, will also be available to answer questions related to stadium construction.
Media parking will be available in the Williams Arena lot off University Avenue. To enter the construction site, all visitors must follow a strict dress code that includes wearing long pants and thick-soled work/hiking shoes or boots. Anyone wearing dresses, skirts, shorts, soft or thin-soled shoes or sandals or open-toed shoes will not be allowed on the construction site.
