New Name For 'TCF Bank Stadium' Approved, Effective Immediately

MINNEAPOLIS — The University of Minnesota football stadium formerly known as "TCF Bank Stadium" will now be known as "Huntington Bank Stadium," the university announced Tuesday.

The name change is effective immediately, officials said, because TCF Bank was acquired by Huntington Bank earlier in 2021.

"We are excited to partner with Huntington Bank and are excited to play in Huntington Bank Stadium this season and beyond," said Director of Athletics Mark Coyle in a news release.

"Huntington is committed to serving its communities by providing exceptional services and delivering a superior customer experience. This partnership will allow Gopher Athletics to continue to strive for greatness and focus on the success of our student-athletes. We look forward to Huntington's growing presence in the Twin Cities and across the region and are thrilled to open the 2021 football season in Huntington Bank Stadium."

The Gophers' football arena has been known as "TCF Bank Stadium" since it first opened in 2009.
