Greetings.
The U issued a reminder Thursday that all Gophers student tickets must be accompanied by a valid U of M ID card to gain admission to games at TCF Bank Stadium.
The announcement was made due to concerns that non-students had been buying tickets to the Gophers-Wisconsin game from U of M students.
"We have heard reports that students are selling their tickets on the Internet and that it is causing some concerns ahead of Saturday's game vs. Wisconsin," assistant athletics director for marketing and ticketing Jason Lafrenz said. We want to remind would-be purchasers that student tickets are only valid in conjunction with a University of Minnesota student ID card. Fans who show up at the game with a student ticket and not a U of M ID card will not be allowed to enter TCF Bank Stadium."
So there you go. Scalp at your own risk.
Some other items:
--The U will hold a public open house at TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. to kick off festivities for the University's 2009 homecoming week.
Fans interested should enter the stadium at Gate E, which is located at Oak Street and University Ave. No other entrances will be open. No outside food or beverages may be brought into the stadium. A concession stand will be open inside the stadium.
