At its peak , capacity was 65,000. They took out a upper level of bleachers on Cooke Hall side in the late 60's
or early 70's. Check out the attendance for the 1960 Minnesota-Iowa game. Number 1 in the nation vs. Number 2. I think 65 or 66,000.
I went to many games at the Brickhouse in the 60's and 70's. So many great memories.
Saw two Big Ten championships and so many great players. I always thought Bobby Bell
was the greatest Gopher that I saw play. I remember watching Dick Butkus just

Sorry to correct DL, but that was the 1961 game when Stephens hit an uncovered Tom Hall.
I was at the 59 and 61 games. The Gophs lost a low scoring game in 59.
Ed Duren, a second team All Big Ten lineman on our last Big Ten championship team in 1967 passed away. I just thought this should

In one of the most famous Gopher vs. Badgers games ever, late in the game Bobby Bell crashes into Ron Vanderkelen causing the ball
to flutter into the air:
1. Name the Gopher linebacker to intercept the ball and his home town.
2. Name the referee that called roughing the...
I apologize if this has been posted already. Syracuse's first touchdown I thought the runner was down on the 1 and
then reached the ball across. It would have been 4th and 1 if called that way. Officiating did not cost us the game.
