Stadium Series Minnesota: Wild vs Blackhawks How to watch, TV/Radio Broadcast, Stadium Notes

When completed, TCF Bank Stadium became the first new football stadium in the Big Ten since 1960 and the first in NCAA FBS since 2006.
The Gopher locker room is a state of the art 60 x 25-yard area, shaped like a football with 120 custom-built lockers and 10 LCD televisions.
The Gophers have a private recruiting room that can accommodate 150 people.
The main high-definition video display in the stadium is one of the largest in college sports at approximately 48 feet high by 108 fee wide. It boasts Daktronics HD-16 technology and was the first of its kind in the Big Ten Conference.
The University achieved LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for TCF Bank Stadium, making it the first LEED certified college football stadium in the country. The certification is achieved by accumulating credits for various environmentally and sustainable efforts in design and construction.
In addition to Minnesota college football games, TCF Bank Stadium has hosted Gopher hockey games, Monday Night Football, MLB All-Star concert and U2. The Minnesota Vikings will also play their 2014 and 2015 seasons at TCF Bank Stadium, while their stadium is being constructed.
