Fans are welcome to attend three open practices prior to the start of the season
The University of Minnesota will have three open practices for fans to see this year's team prior to the first game against New Mexico State at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30 at TCF Bank Stadium.
The open practices will be August 4, 10 and 16.
Saturday's Aug. 4 practice is slated to start at 3:30 p.m. and will be held on the outdoor fields at Athletes Village. Fans should enter practice through the doors located on 15th Ave.
Friday's Aug. 10 practice will be held at TCF Bank Stadium and will be Minnesota's Family Day, which starts at 4 p.m. Fans should enter TCF Bank Stadium through the West Plaza. In addition to fans being able to watch practice from the stands, there will also be inflatables, face painting and post-practice autographs. Minnesota's lovable mascot Goldy Gopher will also be on hand.
For the second consecutive year, the Minnesota football team will also be hosting a diaper drive in conjunction with the Aug. 10 practice. Fans attending Family Day at TCF Bank Stadium are encouraged to bring disposable diapers. Those diapers will then be donated to the Diaper Bank of Minnesota, which provides diapers and wipes to families in need through partner agencies in the Twin Cities. Fans can bring a six-pack of diapers or a box of 96 diapers, as every diaper donated will help a baby.
Fans attending the Aug. 10 practice can also drop off a decorated oar in the West Plaza that will then be displayed in TCF Bank Stadium outside of Minnesota's locker room.
Thursday's Aug. 16 practice will be held at the outdoor fields at Athletes Village. Fans should enter practice through the doors located on 15th Ave. The Big Ten Network will be at practice and will have a full report on the Gophers that night as they prep for the season.
