Gophers Football Home Gets New Name: Huntington Bank Stadium
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _The home for Minnesota's football games has a new name: Huntington Bank Stadium.
The university's board of regents has approved the change by a 9-2 vote.
The 50,000-seat facility opened for the Gophers on campus in 2009 as TCF Bank Stadium. Huntington Bank's acquisition of the Minnesota-founded TCF Bank was finalized earlier this month.
The newly merged company will have headquarters in both Detroit and Columbus, Ohio.
TCF bought the original naming rights for $35 million. That contract runs through the 2030 season.
Huntington can extend it by 10 years for an additional $17.6 million.
