Delirious and delighted fans packed the bars and eateries of Dinkytown and other University of Minnesota neighborhoods Saturday evening to toast the football Gophers’ sensational win over Penn State at TCF Bank Stadium.

The celebration began the moment the 31-26 game ended as thousands of fans clad in maroon and gold spilled — and tumbled, in some cases — out onto the field. So heavy and intense was the rush that more than a dozen minor injuries were reported, including four that sent people to the hospital.

From the second level of TCF Bank Stadium, the fans started to shift before the game was even over.

“It was just a tidal wave going in one direction,” said Ian Macpherson, 25, a U graduate student. “You were either going with it or getting bowled over.”
