TCF Bank Stadium Parking Spots are just as coveted as game tickets

One of the Coveted TCF Bank Parking Lots
On most college campuses Saturday football games are preceded by tailgating. On the University of Minnesota Minneapolis Campus this practice has become a ticketed event due to the lack of parking around the TCF Bank Stadium.

There is virtually no street parking and spots in all of the U of M parking lots and ramps have been sold for season passes. What does it mean? Unless you have a season parking pass or have bought one game off of someone else's season parking pass... DO NOT DRIVE to TCF Bank Stadium, you won't find parking.

Online ticket companies, like Ticket King, are selling passes for parking along with Gophers Football tickets. In an article on KSTP, Michael Nowakowski of Ticket King said that he had found that customers are not aware of the parking shortage and many show up expecting to find a spot to leave their car.

Don't be one of these misinformed fans! You heard it hear, you must have a parking spot if you plan on not walking for miles on end to get to the stadium.
