Gopher Football Ends Metrodome Era

The University of Minnesota Golden Gopher football team ended their Metrodome era last Saturday November 22nd with a season finale loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes. I think most Gopher fans are happy to put the Metrodome years behind them and are looking forward to a new season on campus at the brand new TCF Bank Stadium. Farewell, Gophers. The Metrodome and the surrounding businesses will miss you and your revenue.

Many Gopher memories have been made under that white Teflon roof.

Good Luck Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium!

More Football at Metrodome

'Tis the season for the Metrodome to be booming with football fans and activities. Last weekend was a Gopher Vikings double header (can you call it a double header even if it doesn’t occur on the same day? It was the same weekend.) This weekend both the Golden Gopher football team and the NFL Minnesota Vikings are on the road leaving the Metrodome Minneapolis available for the Minnesota State High School Football playoffs.

One of the people I work with is a huge High School sports fan and I know she is planning on heading over to the Dome this weekend to see as she puts it “the states best football players running around on the turf.” She also points out a that the Metrodome tickets are cheap and the football action will be intense. If you want to see the schedule of who’s playing, you can check out the Minnesota State High School League site for the Football Brackets. Enjoy the Football at the Dome while you can . . . the Metrodome days could be numbered.

Metrodome Update

Woah. It has been awhile since I have written in this Metrodome blog. I better get busy and get this blog up to speed. Right now, the Metrodome is busy getting ready for a big football weekend. Tomorrow the Metrodome will be the home field for the Golden Gophers football team as they host the Michigan Wolverines in the battle for the little brown jug. If the Gophers win, it will be huge!

Then on Sunday, the Metrodome is home to the purple and gold Minnesota Vikings as they host the biggest rivalry game of the season Green Bay Packers. Brad Childress has never beat the Green Bay Packers in his career as the Vikings head football coach so you can bet he is itching to get a win under his belt.

Either event will be a blast for Metrodome Patrons – so don’t just sit on the couch this weekend, head over to Minneapolis for some football!
