Fans will notice several changes at TCF Bank Stadium this football season, most notably an infusion of new food and beverage options for the second consecutive year. These changes reflect feedback collected from Gopher fans throughout the past year.
"We are always looking for ways we can create a better game day atmosphere and experience for our fans," said Athletics Director Mark Coyle. "Whether it's through our surveys, our Fan Advisory Board, or talking to people at events on campus and throughout Minnesota, we are actively listening to feedback. Many of these changes are tied directly to what we heard from Gopher fans this past year."
The biggest change for the coming season is the addition of seven new concessionaires serving up everything from modern takes on long-standing stadium fare, to Minnesota twists on other classics. These new options include:
Gopher Athletics' Fan Advisory Board, along with local media and department staff, were among the first to sample the new options during an event on August 8.
These additions come after significantly expanding options on the West Plaza last year, including the local beers mentioned before. Growth on the West Plaza last year saw Curds & Cakes, Jax's Café and Pimento Jamaican Kitchen (now in Section 143) all make their TCF Bank Stadium debuts.
Fans may also notice that the facility has a new logo, a mark that reflects updates to TCF Bank's corporate logo. The new TCF Bank Stadium logo has a sleeker, more modern look than its predecessor. The most visible displays of the new logo are on the stadium's videoboards, including the back of the iconic main videoboard at the open end of the stadium (which showcases the logo all the way down 4th Street SE), as well as on the 25-yard line on both ends of the field.
Outside the venue, fans will also have new customizable, premium tailgating options thanks to a recently announced partnership between Gopher Athletics and Blockparty. These new, on-demand tailgating experiences will be available on the south lawn of TCF Bank Stadium and along the Oak Street side of the Gopher Garden outside the east entrance of 3M Arena at Mariucci.
All Gopher fans will have the chance to check out the full collection of new food and beverage options and all the other changes at TCF Bank Stadium when Gopher Football kicks off its season against New Mexico State at 6 p.m. Central on Thursday, August 30.
