    Our Stadium

    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.

    How well did the Golden Gophers do while you were in college?

    The Gophers went to two Rose Bowls when I was at the U. I went to both games -- by charter train as a student for the 1961 game, and by charter flight as a student chaperone for the 1962 game. Been waiting ever since for a return trip.

    Uniforms vs. Illinois

    Wear maroon and gold to piss off young whippersnappers who have no respect for the old geezers who helped pay for the stadium and the Athlete’s Village, and who endow player scholarships.

    Fox Sports: Oldest Active Basketball Arenas (Williams Arena, 93 Years)

    I have the “Dedication Basketball Program” from the first game ever played in Williams Arena -- then known as the Minnesota Field House -- on February 4, 1928.

    King-Sized Bits: The basketbrawl that changed the country (1972 Gophers-Buckeyes brawl)

    Although it doesn’t justify what happened, don’t forget that Witte played a role in provoking the incident when he threw an elbow at Gopher players as the two teams crossed paths when leaving the floor at the end of the first half.
