After a more then a quarter century football is back on campus.  Thankfully the guys in gold brought home a victory.  We had a beautiful day and a packed house to break in the new stadium.  Our 50,000 guests offered rave reviews of the facility. Saturday was the culmination of many years worth of effort by thousands of dedicated Gophers.

FM employees were involved in all different phases of the project. From reviewing construction documents, to creating signage or picking plantings, to placing porta-pottys…  many different folks contributed. 

While I do not have everyone’s name who participated (I apologize in advance for missing anyone), I wanted to give special recognition to those who have had extended time put into the planning and preparation.  But I also want to thank all of you who have participated in any way with a great big “Hats off to Thee” for a job well done!
