They've wrapped up successful football careers at the University of Minnesota and in the NFL, and now brothers Jeff and Nick Tow-Arnett are looking for what’s next. They recently bought some land just outside Jordan, and it's what they're doing on that land that has everybody talking.

For nearly 90 years, the barn on their newly purchased land has been the talk of the town. Everyone knows about "the big white barn."

"We'd drive by it and we'd always comment on how neat it was,” Viola said.

Its claim to fame is mainly that it's big, even for a barn. The 140-foot long barn is so distinct that people can't help but do a double take.

“We just kept driving past it every day,” Jeff said.

Then one day, one of those double takes turned into a taker. And now, Jeff Tow-Arnett is the proud new owner of the talk of the town.

Life after football

Jeff and his brother Nick recently bought the big white barn with big plans to give it new life, which is fitting considering the two are in need of their own fresh starts after exhaustive football careers in college and the NFL.

"With everything happening, I realize there's a lot more to life than just football,” Jeff said.
