The University of Minnesota is willing to work with the Minnesota Vikings to use TCF Bank Stadium as an alternative site for their Monday, Dec. 20 game should repairs to the recently-collapsed Metrodome not be completed in time.
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (12/12/2010) —The following is a statement from the University of Minnesota in light of Sunday morning's Metrodome roof collapse: "The University of Minnesota values its strong, positive relationship with the Minnesota Vikings. University officials have worked diligently today to assist the Vikings in finding solutions to the unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances resulting from the Metrodome collapse. Following the Golden Gophers last home game against Iowa, TCF Bank Stadium was winterized for the season and is not now immediately operational for football games. Enabling the Vikings to play at our stadium presents substantial logistical and operational challenges on such short notice. We'll continue to explore all feasible options to make it possible to accommodate the Vikings on campus to complete their season in the Twin Cities, should that be necessary."
