Don't have a ticket to Saturday's big Minnesota vs. Wisconsin football game but still want to get a look at TCF Bank Stadium? No problem. The University of Minnesota will be hosting a public open house at the Big Ten's newest football cathedral on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. to kick off the festivities for the University's 2009 Homecoming week.
Fans interested in attending the event should enter TCF Bank Stadium at Gate E, which is located at Oak Street and University Avenue. No other entrances will be open. In addition, no outside food or beverages may be brought into the stadium. A concession stand will be open for food and beverage purchases.
The self-guided stadium tours will include the opportunity to step on the field, visit the M Club Room and football-shaped locker room, sit in the seats and much more. This will be the only time the locker room will be open to the public.
The event is free and no RSVP is required. Visitors are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for the Emergency Foodshelf Network. Discounted parking is available at selected surface lots located in the vicinity of the stadium and fans are encouraged to visit the parking and transportation page at tcfbankstadium.com for detailed parking maps.
In addition to the tours, the stadium concourse will hold more than 40 interactive exhibits presented by colleges and other academic units at the U. Visitors can watch a demonstration by the Physics Force, see the award-winning, student built solar car and take a digital history tour of Memorial Stadium and more.
