University Releases Statement Regarding Vikings

12/12/2010 12:00:00 AM | Football

University of Minnesota officials released the following statement regarding the possibility of the Vikings playing in TCF Bank Stadium following the roof collapse at the Metrodome Sunday.

“The University of Minnesota values its strong, positive relationship with the Minnesota Vikings.  University officials have worked diligently today to assist the Vikings in finding solutions to the unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances resulting from the Metrodome collapse.  Following the Golden Gophers last home game against Iowa, TCF Bank Stadium was winterized for the season and is not now immediately operational for football games. Enabling the Vikings to play at our stadium presents substantial logistical and operational challenges on such short notice.  We'll continue to explore all feasible options to make it possible to accommodate the Vikings on campus to complete their season in the Twin Cities, should that be necessary.”
