TCF buys a stadium
Looks like my favorite bank bought themselves a stadium for $35 million (a pretty good deal since the whole thing will cost over $230 million). The on-campus Gophers stadium is to be named TCF Bank Stadium. It will be the only stadium in the Big Ten named after a corporation, and the first sports facility at the U named for a corporate sponsor.
As a price for the $35 mil, TCF also gets to extend their exclusive banking arrangment with University of Minnesota students. Yippie.

I was told if I wanted to go to grad school at the U, I would have to give up my left nut to TCF's legal department. On the plus side, I'd get a nice set of Pyrex serving bowls in return.
I'm paying $175 MM!
It should be called Taxpayer stadium.
I always say that.
I think "Taxpayer Stadium" has a nice ring to it.
