U's new stadium gets sponsor

Star Tribune

Last update: November 13, 2007 - 12:29 PM

The Gophers hope to be in their new 50,000-seat football stadium by 2009, and they took a step toward that today with a $2.5 million sponsorship from Dairy Queen.

The University of Minnesota announced that the TCF Bank Stadiums club room will be called the Dairy Queen Stadium Club. Last month, a $12.5 million gift to the university was announced by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community that included $10 million for the $288 million stadium.
