WCCO's story about cranky long time season ticket holders: http://wcco.com/sports/gopher.ticket.holders.2.971844.html. This is what they chose for day 1 of seat selection. And they had more issues with facts to boot: Like other longtime fans with seats between the 20's, the U requires a $500...

...I found several good videos and virtual tours of Target Field. April 2010 can't come soon enough either! As a side note, this has been a great few years for Mortenson hasn't it? Minn Post 3 part video tour of TCF from late Oct 2008...

WCCO also took a tour today and loaded a video tour/transcript article. (Note: the video has a 15 sec ad playing before you get to see the story). Video tour: http://www.wcco.com/video/[email protected] Article/Transcript: http://wcco.com/sports/gophers.tcf.stadium.2.958789.html...

Today was definitely TCF tour day. GopherHole, STrib, WCCO all touring TCF today. While trying to collect all the videos I could I came across a few sets of images from tours over the winter as well as a STrib video tour from last October. Photo Tour 1: http://jovle.com/2009_01_08.htm Photo...

Yet another TCF video I just found. This one is by the U Alumni Association. It shows the construction of TCF via a time lapse compilation of photos (taken from the University Ave ramp?). Very cool! :) http://mediamill.cla.umn.edu/mediamill/embed/25241

Not too much in the way of stadium footage, but this approx 9 minute video has Phil sitting down with Access Minnesota and covering a lot of the "behind the scenes" details about the stadium. Some info in this that I hadn't heard before. Worth a look. One bit of stadium footage that I found...

Here is a short (1:30) video tour of TCF on the STrib website (http://www.startribune.com/video/?vid=41239467&elr=KArksi8cyaiUjc8LDyiUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUHDYaGEP7eyckcUr). It shows off some quick snippets of the scoreboard, view from the Press Box, interior, and locker room. The scoreboard clip...

Here's an article on Cosgrove by Adam Ritterburg posted on the Big Ten blog today. Nothing really new noted: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-3-58/Minnesota-s-Cosgrove-studies-up-on-the-spread.html

Ivan Maisel listed the 5 teams he thinks are poised to take a big step forward this season. The Gophers check in at #3 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/notebook?page=iform090311). Another round of nice press for the Gophers!

Link: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-3-17/Five-transfers-to-watch-in-the-Big-Ten-this-fall.html Nothing earth-shattering...the same thing most folks on this board have been saying for a while.

Small article from the Strib about how Frat Row is preparing for the opening of TCF. http://www.startribune.com/local/40475167.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUss

Just stumbled across this today and didn’t remember it ever being posted before. The MinnPost has a 3 part video tour of TCF taken by a U student on 11/7/08. As we saw in recent pictures there is plenty of work that has happened to TCF since then. But I thought it would be nice to post so you...

ESPN's B10 Blog linked to a Cedar Rapids Gazette blog post on football revenues, expenses, and recruiting budgets for all the Big Ten teams (as well as some other programs from across the nation for a wider comparison) in the 2008 fiscal year. Here's the link...

This is crazy: http://www.statesman.com/sports/content/sports/stories/longhorns/03/02/0302recruit.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=54 They are almost done filling their class and we are not even a month past the previous signing day!

Here's a link to a Pioneer Press article from yesterday that talks about the TCF and Target Field stadium projects and how they are being affected by the economy: http://www.twincities.com/gophersfootball/ci_11807400. It also reflects on the good timing both projects had in being approved prior...

It looks like Purdue is looking to expand Ross-Ade Stadium even though they may not have the season ticket demand for it (see link here: http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=916793). Since I'm worried about a similar scenario coming to pass at TCF someday (U wants to expand seating...

The recap was written by Mike Hlas (see here: http://mikegh.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/big-ten-football-2009-cupcakes-galore/) The section on MN reads:

Adam Rittenburg has been doing an interesting segment in his blog about the "Mt. Rushmore" for each B10 team. He put up MN's entry last night (see here: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/bigten/0-2-1312/Minnesota-s-Mount-Rushmore.html). His list? What do you all think? Off the top of my head I'd...

So I spent some more time today pondering where I'd like to sit in TCF. My Gopher Points total puts me at approximately 24,000...not great, not terrible. I know I'm going to be choosing from 1 of the 4 corners, but I can't quite decide which would be best. Obviously I have no idea what will...

A week ago I issued a friendly challenge to Goldy 74's (see previous thread here). Thus far I've failed to post my response to his list which I'm quoting below...my bad! :) But, here are my thoughts on where the Gopher's stand on various areas of recruiting. I want to hear other people's...
