'''Huntington Bank Stadium''' (formerly known as '''TCF Bank Stadium''') is an outdoor stadium located on the campus of the [[University of Minnesota]] in [[Minneapolis]], [[Minnesota]], United States. The stadium opened in 2009, after three years of construction. It is the home field of the [[Minnesota Golden Gophers football|Minnesota Golden Gophers]] of the [[Big Ten Conference]]. 

The stadium also served as the temporary home of the [[Minnesota Vikings]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL) for the [[2014 Minnesota Vikings season|2014]] and [[2015 Minnesota Vikings season|2015]] seasons during the construction of [[U.S. Bank Stadium]] and the [[Minnesota United FC]] of [[Major League Soccer]] for the 2017 and 2018 seasons during the construction of [[Allianz Field]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Quarstad|first=Brian|date=August 19, 2016|title=Minnesota United to play inaugural MLS season at new home: TCF Bank Stadium|publisher=Major League Soccer|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/08/19/minnesota-united-play-inaugural-mls-season-new-home-tcf-bank-stadium|access-date=August 28, 2016|archive-date=August 23, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160823133049/http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/08/19/minnesota-united-play-inaugural-mls-season-new-home-tcf-bank-stadium|url-status=live}}</ref> The 50,805-seat "[[horseshoe]]" style stadium cost $303.3 million to build and is designed to support future expansion to seat up to 80,000.

It was the first new Big Ten football stadium constructed since [[Memorial Stadium (Indiana)|Memorial Stadium]] at [[Indiana University Bloomington|Indiana University]] opened in 1960. When it opened, Huntington Bank Stadium boasted the largest home locker room in college or professional football and one of the largest video boards in the nation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Athletic Facilities: TCF Bank Stadium|publisher=University of Minnesota|url=http://www.gophersports.com/facilities/|access-date=August 19, 2013|archive-date=July 22, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130722142521/http://www.gophersports.com/facilities/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=TCF Bank Stadium|url=http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/guide/tcf-bank-stadium/|publisher=CBS|access-date=January 10, 2016|date=November 9, 2010|archive-date=January 10, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160110175233/http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/guide/tcf-bank-stadium/|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Super Bowl]] winning coach and former quarterback for the Golden Gophers [[Tony Dungy]] called the stadium "unbelievable" and [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] wide receiver [[Cris Carter]] said that the on-campus facility "will give the University of Minnesota a chance to compete not only in the Big Ten but nationally for some of the best athletes".<ref>{{cite web |title=About Gopher Football: TCF Bank Stadium |publisher=University of Minnesota |url=http://www.gophersportsguides.com/page/show/329663-tcf-bank-stadium |access-date=August 20, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029190106/http://www.gophersportsguides.com/page/show/329663-tcf-bank-stadium |archive-date=October 29, 2013 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

==History==
The stadium is the third on-campus stadium and fourth stadium used for University of Minnesota football. Previous venues have been [[Northrop Field]], [[Memorial Stadium (University of Minnesota)|Memorial Stadium]], and [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]]. It is the first of three [[spectator sport]]s stadiums that have been built for the major tenants of the [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]] – the Gophers and two professional teams, the [[Minnesota Twins]] baseball and [[Minnesota Vikings]] football teams.<ref name=mpr5906 /><ref>{{cite news|first=Jay|last=Weiner|title=Getting Our Fix|date=November 2007|work=Minnesota Monthly|url=http://www.minnesotamonthly.com/media/Minnesota-Monthly/November-2007/Getting-our-Fix/|publisher=Greenspring Media Group|access-date=October 21, 2007|archive-date=October 17, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071017035204/http://www.minnesotamonthly.com/media/Minnesota-Monthly/November-2007/Getting-our-Fix/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The Gopher football program played its first game there on September 12, 2009 against the [[Air Force Falcons football|Falcons]] of the [[United States Air Force Academy]], prevailing 20–13. This was the first football game played on-campus since November 21, 1981, the last game in Memorial Stadium. The highest-ranked [[AP Poll|AP Top 25]] team to visit was #2 [[TCU Horned Frogs football|TCU]] in 2015. [[Iowa Hawkeyes football|Iowa]] is 5–3 against Minnesota in [[Iowa–Minnesota football rivalry|rivalry games]] played at "The Bank", and one of three ranked opponents that the Gophers have defeated in the new facility (#24 Iowa in [[2010 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team|2010]], #21 Nebraska in [[2013 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team|2013]], and #4 Penn State in [[2019 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team|2019]]). The 2019 win over Penn State was the first time Minnesota had sold out TCF Bank Stadium since 2015 and was their first win at TCF Bank Stadium against a top 4 ranked opponent. At the conclusion of the 2019 season, the Gopher football team has an all-time record of 48 - 32 (0.600) in games played at TCF Bank Stadium.

===Stadium proposal===
The push for a new on-campus stadium for Golden Gopher football began in the fall of 2000. The university cited poor revenue and lack of a college football atmosphere at the off-campus [[Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome]] as their main reasons for wanting to move back on campus.<ref>{{cite web|title=Student senate minutes|first=Rebecca|last=Hippert|url=http://www1.umn.edu/usenate/ssen/010419stu.html|publisher=University of Minnesota Student Senate|date=April 19, 2001|access-date=July 8, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116165539/http://www1.umn.edu/usenate/ssen/010419stu.html|archive-date=January 16, 2009|df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=U of M May Go It Alone in Stadium Chase|first=Tim|last=Pugmire|url=http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200212/13_pugmiret_stadium/|work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]]|date=December 13, 2002|access-date=July 8, 2007|archive-date=April 25, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070425012541/http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200212/13_pugmiret_stadium/|url-status=live}}</ref>  A plan for a joint [[Minnesota Vikings]]/University of Minnesota football stadium was proposed in 2002, but differences over how the stadium would be designed and managed, as well as state budget constraints, led to the plan's failure.<ref>{{cite news|title=Committee Kills Vikings Stadium Plan|first=Tom|last=Scheck|url=http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200202/18_khoom_stadiums/index.shtml|work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]]|date=February 18, 2002|access-date=July 8, 2007|archive-date=August 23, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040823100353/http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200202/18_khoom_stadiums/index.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>  In September 2003 a highly publicized attempt was made by [[T.

During the remainder of 2005 the university concentrated on drafting a stadium proposal that would draw the support of state politicians.  The final plan proposed that the state of Minnesota would contribute 40% of the stadium cost while the university would raise the remaining 60% on its own.  Portions of that 60% were to be funded by the TCF naming rights, while the remainder would come from a $50 per semester student fee, private donations, the sale of 2,840&nbsp;acres (11.5&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) of university land in rural [[Dakota County, Minnesota|Dakota County]] back to the state, and game day parking revenue.<ref name=newstadium />  Even though the university proposal drew widespread legislative support, the stadium effort suffered a setback when the 2005 legislative session ended before the stadium [[Bill (proposed law)|bill]] could be heard.<ref name="leg">{{cite web |title=At the Legislature|publisher=University of Minnesota via Internet Archive|url=http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/legislature.html|access-date=December 21, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070109075654/http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/legislature.html|archive-date=January 9, 2007}}</ref> Late in 2005 when it became evident that this would happen, the university and TCF Bank announced that it had extended the naming rights deal to June 30, 2006.<ref name=dec31 />

Despite the 2005 session having ended with the bill not coming to a vote, the stadium effort did not lose momentum in the legislature and was introduced quickly in the 2006 session.  On April 6, 2006, the [[Minnesota House of Representatives]] passed the stadium bill on a 103–30 vote.<ref>{{cite web|title=Unofficial Recorded Roll Call Floor Vote for H.F.

The proposed funding that was removed was to be replaced with a statewide tax on [[sports memorabilia]]. It also would have required the stadium to be named Veterans Memorial Stadium (similar to the previous on-campus football stadium Memorial Stadium, which was last used in 1981 and demolished in 1992).<ref name=mpr5906>{{cite news|title=Senate Passes Stadium Bills for Twins, Gophers, and Vikings|first=Tom|last=Sheck|work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]]|date=May 9, 2006|url=http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2006/05/09/gopherstadium/|access-date=July 8, 2007|archive-date=December 23, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223133827/http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2006/05/09/gopherstadium/|url-status=live}}</ref> Governor [[Tim Pawlenty]] stated he supported the House version.<ref>{{cite news |title=Gophers Stadium Plan Passes Senate|first=Mike|last=Kaszuba|url=http://blog.lib.umn.edu/stadium/stadium/2006/05/|newspaper=[[Star Tribune]]|location=Minneapolis|date=May 9, 2006|access-date=May 21, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070316083841/http://blog.lib.umn.edu/stadium/stadium/2006/05/|archive-date=March 16, 2007}}</ref>  He signed the bill in May 2006 at the University of Minnesota [[McNamara Alumni Center]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Stadium Bill Signed at McNamara|url=http://www.alumni.umn.edu/Stadium_Signing.html|date=May 25, 2006|publisher=Regents of the University of Minnesota via University of Minnesota Alumni Association|access-date=December 11, 2007|archive-date=September 8, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070908010400/http://www.alumni.umn.edu/Stadium_Signing.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Legislative approval 2006===
Even though the differences between the [[Minnesota House of Representatives|House]] and [[Minnesota Senate|Senate]] bills were major, the details were ironed out and approved on May 19, in a House–Senate [[conference committee]]. The naming rights and land sale remained in the bill, as did a scaled down $25 per year student fee.  The tax on sports memorabilia as well as the Veterans Memorial Stadium name were voted out.  The committee also voted to increase the state contribution to the project to compensate for the smaller student fees.<ref name=highlights>{{cite news |title=Stadium Bill Highlights|first=Tim|last=Pugmire|url=http://blog.lib.umn.edu/stadium/stadium/2006/05/|work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]]|date=May 20, 2006|access-date=July 8, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070614164230/http://blog.lib.umn.edu/stadium/stadium/2006/05/|archive-date=June 14, 2007}}</ref>  The compromise bill was then approved by both the full house and senate on May 20, and was signed by Governor Tim Pawlenty on May 24.<ref>{{cite web|title=Unofficial Recorded Roll Call Floor Vote for S.F.

===Name change===
On June 29, 2021, the university's Board of Regents approved changing the name from TCF Bank Stadium to Huntington Bank Stadium. The change occurred after [[Huntington Bancshares]] purchased [[TCF Bank]]. The new name and logo were put into use immediately by the university.<ref>{{cite web |title=Welcome to Huntington Bank Stadium |url=https://gophersports.com/news/2021/6/29/athletics-welcome-to-huntington-bank-stadium.aspx |website=University of Minnesota Athletics |access-date=29 June 2021 |language=en |archive-date=June 29, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210629200119/https://gophersports.com/news/2021/6/29/athletics-welcome-to-huntington-bank-stadium.aspx |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Location==
The stadium is located on the northeast side of the Minneapolis campus, near the site of the former Memorial Stadium, across from [[Williams Arena]]. The site was previously the Huron Boulevard Parking Complex, where the university's four largest parking lots were located.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stadium Location |publisher=University of Minnesota via Internet Archive |date=July 18, 2006 |url=http://www.umn.edu/stadium/location.html# |access-date=December 21, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060502063337/http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/location.html |archive-date=May 2, 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>  The address is 2009 University Ave S.E.<ref name="logo">{{cite web|title=TCF Bank Stadium Logo Unveiling Signals Start of Construction Phase|publisher=University of Minnesota|date=July 11, 2007|url=http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8400&ATCLID=1087853|access-date=July 11, 2007}}{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The stadium is part of a {{convert|75|acre|sing=on}} expansion of the Twin Cities campus, the largest since the [[University of Minnesota#West Bank|West Bank]] was built in the 1960s. Current plans for the area call for the construction of as many as ten new academic buildings by 2015.<ref name="stribmjs" /> The [[Metro (Minnesota)|Metro]] [[Green Line (Minnesota)|Green Line]] [[light rail]] runs near the stadium, with a [[Stadium Village (Metro Transit station)|station]] in [[Stadium Village, Minneapolis|Stadium Village]] serving the facility.

An [[Environmental Impact Assessment|environmental impact assessment]] of the stadium site was conducted by the university between December 2004 and March 2006 at a cost of $1.5&nbsp;million.  The results were approved by the Board of Regents on March 27, 2006.<ref>{{cite web |title=Environmental Review Process|publisher=University of Minnesota via Internet Archive|url=http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/environmental_review.html|access-date=June 19, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070807144513/http://www1.umn.edu/stadium/environmental_review.html|archive-date=August 7, 2007}}</ref>

The stadium is a horseshoe-style stadium which organizers said would have a "traditional collegiate look and feel".<ref name=newcost /> On December 7, 2006, the university announced that the stadium's field would be laid out in an unorthodox east–west configuration, with the open west end of the stadium facing campus. This layout, similar to that of Memorial Stadium, provides a view of downtown Minneapolis.<ref name="stribmjs">{{cite news|title=Gophers' Stadium Costs Expected to Rise|first=Mary Jane|last=Smetanka|url=http://www.startribune.com/512/story/861532.html|newspaper=[[Star Tribune]]|location=Minneapolis|date=December 7, 2006|access-date=December 7, 2006|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061210003422/http://www.startribune.com/512/story/861532.html|archive-date=December 10, 2006|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

The first phase of the construction includes approximately 50,805 seats, with the design able to support future expansion of up to 80,000 seats.

The space also honors the members of the 'M' Club Hall of Fame with a wall complete with plaques for each inductee. The Hall of Fame housed the [[Iowa–Minnesota football rivalry|Floyd of Rosedale]] trophy after a win over [[2010 Iowa Hawkeyes football team|Iowa]] in [[2010 Minnesota Golden Gophers football team|2010]].

The media area is a three-tiered press box with 10 network TV camera positions and seating for 160 members of the media.<ref>{{cite web|title=TCF Bank Stadium: Media Areas|publisher=University of Minnesota|url=http://www.gophersportsguides.com/page/show/329667-media-areas|access-date=August 20, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131030012741/http://www.gophersportsguides.com/page/show/329667-media-areas|archive-date=October 30, 2013|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

===Expansion===
The stadium was designed to be capable of supporting future seating expansion to 80,000. The 30,000 seats would be added above the second deck of the stadium from the end of the press boxes across to the northwest end of the venue, wrapping around the remainder of the horseshoe.<ref name="Star Tribune"/> The auxiliary video display currently adjacent to the easternmost section of the media areas would likely be relocated to atop the new third deck. The University of Minnesota could add all 30,000 seats in a single addition or in increments of 10,000 seats, meeting demand as it is needed (although the duplicated costs of such a plan make it unlikely). If expansion is ever undertaken, it can be completed in about 9 months so that there would be minimal interruption of a football season.<ref>{{cite web|title=TCF Bank Stadium expansion|publisher=GopherHole.com|date=September 8, 2009|url=http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?7761-TCF-Bank-Stadium-expansion|access-date=August 19, 2013|archive-date=January 16, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140116105526/http://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/showthread.php?7761-TCF-Bank-Stadium-expansion|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Funding==
The stadium's cost totals $288.5&nbsp;million, of which the university will pay 52% and the state of Minnesota the remaining 48%.

==Alcohol controversy==
University president Robert Bruininks originally planned to have the school apply for a state liquor license in order to serve beer and wine in limited areas of the stadium. Under his proposal, alcohol would have been available only to occupants of premium [[season ticket]] seats ranging in price from $1,800 to $45,000 a year. This is/was consistent with the university's long-held alcohol policy at other on-campus athletic venues, such as Williams Arena and Mariucci Arena. This is also consistent with other NCAA institutions (including all other Big Ten Conference teams except for the University of Michigan and Ohio State University) with on-campus stadiums.<ref>{{cite news|title=U of M Wants to Sell Beer At Football Games, If You Can Afford It|first=Tim|last=Post|url=http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/11/12/u_of_m_wants_to_sell_beer_at_football_games_if_you_can_afford_it/|work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]]|date=November 13, 2008|access-date=November 13, 2008|archive-date=January 20, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090120035519/http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/11/12/u_of_m_wants_to_sell_beer_at_football_games_if_you_can_afford_it|url-status=live}}</ref> At the time, no [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] stadiums served alcohol in their general seating.<ref name=Shenoy />

In May 2010, the legislature passed a law saying that alcohol could be served in premium seating if it was also available in one-third of the general seats. Bruininks declined to ask the board of regents to make this compromise. Dan Wolter, a spokesman for the university, said, "We recognize and understand that underage drinking is a big problem in our society as a whole so that is a stand that the University wanted to take."<ref name=Shenoy>{{cite news|title=U of M Decides Not to Sell Alcohol in TCF Bank Football Stadium|first=Rupa|last=Shenoy|url=http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/06/07/no-alcohol-in-stadium/|work=[[Minnesota Public Radio]]|date=June 7, 2010|access-date=June 7, 2010|archive-date=June 10, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610063253/http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/06/07/no-alcohol-in-stadium|url-status=live}}</ref>
