U of M Stadium

U of M Stadium (Huntington Bank)

I was driving past this stadium the other day and there were no events!

When completed, Huntington Bank Stadium became the first new football stadium in the Big Ten since 1960 and the first in NCAA FBS since 2006. The locker room is a state-of-the-art area, shaped like a football with 120 custom-built lockers. The main high-definition video display in the stadium is approximately 48 feet high by 108 feet wide.  In addition to Minnesota college football games, Huntington Bank Stadium has hosted Gopher hockey games, Monday Night Football, NHL Stadium Series, international soccer matchs, MLB All-Star concert, U2, Rolling Stones, Beyonce, One Direction, Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line. The Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota United also played seasons at Huntington Bank Stadium while their new stadiums were being built.

50,805 - Capacity of stadium seats  

1,300,000 - Total number of on-site work hours to complete stadium.
