Fans of the Maroon and Gold headed to campus this weekend for athletic events should plan accordingly and allow extra time. The Minnesota Department of Transportation announced that it will shut down both directions of Interstate 35W, between Highway 62 (Crosstown) and I-94.
The closure, which will begin Friday night at 10 p.m., and lasts through Monday morning, 5 a.m., is part of an ongoing road construction project on the highway.
Fans are encouraged to seek alternate routes or utilize Metro Transit light rail and buses to reach campus. The Stadium Village light rail stop is located adjacent to TCF Bank Stadium, along with the East Bank station which are both an easy walk to many campus venues.
The Gophers host several events this upcoming weekend. On Saturday, men's and women's swimming & diving hosts Florida State, 10 a.m., at the Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center. Women's basketball hosts its Maroon and Gold Showcase from 1-3 p.m. at Williams Arena. The women's hockey team hosts Ohio State at 4:07 p.m., while men's hockey and volleyball are slated for 7 p.m. action against Trinity Western and Nebraska, respectively.
