For many years I have been interested in Gopher history. As a kid, I remember that Purdue often came to Minneapolis but the Gophers rarely seemed to go to Purdue. So I did some digging. Ross-Ade opened in 1924 but the Gophers never played there until 1951. During those years, Purdue came to Minneapolis to play the Gophers 14 times! The Gophers lost their first 6 games at Ross-Ade before finally winning in 1974. Now the Gophers are 6-18 at Ross-Ade.
To those who attended Saturday's game, I would like to read about your experience with the fans and the quality of the stadium. On tv, the crowd seemed sparse at the start and tiny by the end of the third quarter.
