TCF Bank Stadium, the first on-campus football stadium in over two decades, will have the capacity to seat 50,000 and the potential to expand to 80,000. Set to open on Sept. 12, 2009 in a game against the United States Air Force Academy, the stadium is now taking shape with last week’s first installation of steel. Fundraising is currently underway for the $288.5 million structure and so far nearly $75 million has been raised towards the goal of $86 million in donations and sponsorships.
