Opened in 2009, it is the home field of the Minnesota Golden Gophers of the Big Ten Conference. The stadium is also the temporary home of the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League for the 2014 and 2015 seasons while U.S. Bank Stadium is being built. The 52,525-seat "horseshoe" style stadium is designed to support future expansion to seat up to 80,000 and cost $303.3 million to build. TCF Bank Stadium is currently the smallest stadium in the NFL by seat capacity. For five years, the venue was the newest BCS stadium in the country (Yulman Stadium, on the campus of Tulane University opened in 2014), and is the first new Big Ten football stadium constructed since 1960 (Penn State's Beaver Stadium). TCF Bank Stadium also boasts the largest home locker room in college or professional football and one of the largest video boards in the nation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=University of Minnesota )〕 Super Bowl winning coach and former quarterback for the Golden Gophers Tony Dungy called the stadium "unbelievable" and Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter said that the on-campus facility "will give the University of Minnesota a chance to compete not only in the Big Ten but nationally for some of the best athletes".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=University of Minnesota )〕 ==History== The stadium is the third on-campus stadium and fourth stadium used for U of M football. Previous venues have been Northrop Field, Memorial Stadium, and Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. It is the first of three spectator sports stadiums that either have been built or are being developed for the major tenants of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome – the Gophers and two professional teams, the Minnesota Twins baseball and Minnesota Vikings football teams.〔 The Gopher football program played its first game there on September 12, 2009 against the Falcons of the United States Air Force Academy, prevailing 20-13. This was the first football game played on-campus since November 21, 1981, the last game in Memorial Stadium. The highest-ranked AP Top 25 team to visit was #2 TCU in 2015. Iowa is 1-3 against Minnesota in rivalry games played at "The Bank", and one of two ranked opponents that the Gophers have defeated in the new facility (#24 Iowa in 2010 and #21 Nebraska in 2013). At the conclusion of the 2014 season, the Gopher football team has an all-time record of 23 - 19 (0.5476) in games played at TCF Bank Stadium. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TCF Bank Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
