Univ. of Minnesota stadium name change approved

The Univ. of Minnesota Board of Regents voted 9-2 "in favor of renaming the Gophers football stadium to Huntington Bank Stadium." The venue "had been known as TCF Bank Stadium" since it opened in '09, but "Huntington's merger with TCF was finalized earlier this month." Yesterday's Board of Regents meeting "included a 40-minute discussion on the stadium name change, specifically the use of green in the logo." UM will play Ohio State on Sept. 2 in the stadium's "first game under its new name" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 6/30).
