Gopher Football Parking Pass is a must for TCF Bank Stadium

Recommendation of the day: Buy a Parking Pass for TCF Bank Stadium Gopher football games.

If you haven't been to a Gopher football game at TCF Bank Stadium yet, you may not understand what I am talking about, but if you have and you tried to drive your car to the stadium, you realize that parking is extremely limited UNLESS you have a pre-purchased parking pass.

Warning: You can NOT park near the Gopher football stadium without a pre-approved TCF Bank Stadium parking pass and the lots near the stadium do NOT accept cash on game days, only the passes.



The easiest way to get a TCF Bank Stadium parking pass is to become a Gopher Football season ticket holder. If that's not an option, your next best bet is to buy one BEFORE leaving for the game from ticket brokers like Ticket King. I am not just recommending this because I work for Ticket King, I am recommending this because you will THANK ME for making your game day experience a stress-free fun filled event.

Ticket King recommends you purchase your parking pass early because they often run out on game days. You can purchase online or on the phone at 612-341-4131. I would personally recommend picking the pass up in their office before the game to save yourself the shipping charges.

Below is a map from Ticket King to the Gopher football stadium, it is about a 5 minute drive.

Here is a map of the parking lots around the stadium (graphic from gophers official site). See all those blue, green and red lots, they all REQUIRE pre-purchased parking passes. The purple is for RV parking only and also requires a pre-purchased season parking pass.

Tim Brewster Fired

The search for a new head coach for the University of Minnesota Gopher football team is on; Tim Brewster was shown the door on Saturday after the Gopher football team moved to 1-6 falling to Purdue. The athletic direct at the U said he wants, "to find a Tubby Smith," or someone to raise the excitement level that should be associated with the new TCF Bank Stadium. Will Jeff Horton serves as the interim head coach, the search is on. Here are potential candidates:

Kevin Sumlin, Houston head coach:

Sumlin has obviously had success as a head coach and has Minnesota ties, which is clearly a plus, but is he ready to be a Minnesota head coach? this would require him jumping to the next level. The answer is yet to be seen.

Marc Trestman, Montreal Alouettes head coach:


Trestman is a Minnesotan through and through... except for the part about coaching in Canada, which I'm sure isn't fun. Trestman went to St. Louis Park High School, played at the U of M and MNSU and worked for 3 years as a Vikings assistant. Impressive.

Other prospects include:

Brady Hoke, San Diego State head coach; Make Markuson, Mississippi offensive coordinator; Mike Belottie, former Oregon head coach; Lesli Frazier, Vikings defensive coordinator; Mike Stoops, Arizona head coach; Jim McElwain, Alabama offensive coordinator.

I suggest you buy some Gopher Football Tickets and see what the team will look like post-Brewter-departure. Check 'em out.
