Totally disagree with you It was Mason who won the support of the State Legislators to get the approval and support for bonding needed to
build the on campus stadium.
It did also help that the local NFL ownership was turning the screws tighter on the legislature for the state to build the nfl mafia machine a new palace for the local franchise. However, in order to keep the pro team in downtown Minneapolis, there had to be a stadium somewhere in the state for the nfl team to play. Between the lobbying Mason had done to get a Gopher on campus stadium and threats and heat put on the legislature by the franchise owner and the nfl, approval was was given for bonding to build the Gopher stadium, in large part specifically so the local pro team. could play in the on campus stadium while their new stadium could be built.
I have watched posters on this board always talk trash about a coach once he is no longer a coach here. Some of you still talk trash about Mason and gush about the new wonder boy coach brewster. Then, when he was gone the boosters killed Coach Kills name. Tracy won 9 games and he became known here as the worst of the worst.
And now, some of the posters here(too many of them) openly want Coach Fleck’s scalp. I guess this is the minnesota Gopher Football fans’ signature move
