Heating Coil Field.
I think we should follow the Redskins/Football Team lead and just call it “Stadium” next season, and maybe have a new name for it later...TCF field is going to have it's name changed. I think we all would like a "true" name associated with the stadium that isn't sold to the highest bidder.
Mariucci Arena, Williams Arena, These names are lore on campus where corporate names come and go with the funds associated with them. So what should the stadium be called?
Smith Field?
Eller Stadium?
Bud Grant Field?
I'm going with the latter, an uncompromising winner who demanded perfection and went short sleeve when flipping the coin in sub zero temperatures as an octogenarian!

"A Close Personal Friend of Mine Field"Just go with "The Bank." Sad truth is that Bierman is already used and he's the only one with enough credentials in football to have a stadium named after him. Warmath won one national title, with one loss and it was through the result, I think, of an AP poll. Hardly the stuff of legend. About the worse suggestion has been Bud Grant. Not exactly an "M" type of guy who loved the U. However, if his estate left a ton of money, I wouldn't be adverse to calling it "The Sid."

Bierman BeerBierman Field, Stadium, everything.
I feel like going for an unofficial nickname now is ... weird.
Granted I'm ok with it, just weird.
God please Dairy Queen save us.
If that's the case, by the grace of God, we avoided Dave Lee Field? Actually, I do like Christensen court. Nobody loved the Gophers more. Could usually tell by the tone of his voice how the Gophers were faring even before he gave the score."A Close Personal Friend of Mine Field"
The basketball court should be called Christensen court at Williams Arena. For Ray.
You could just say Memorial Stadium and get like half of them right. I'll give it a quick go...Here's a quiz... name the stadiums that the following football teams play in:
Ohio State Buckeyes
Michigan Wolverines
Nebraska Cornhuskers
Iowa Hawkeyes
Penn State Nittany Lions
Wisconsin Badgers
Purdue Boilermakers
Illinois Fighting Illini
Indiana Hoosiers
Maryland Terrapins
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Michigan State Spartans
Northwestern Wildcats
Pinky McNamara?Sid Hartman Stadium. Biggest Gopher booster - nobody comes close. Covered all Gopher sports for what- 70 years? Cannot think of anyone who did more for the gophers than him, except possibly Bernie Bierman. but that was during WW2.
