No matter where you sit in this stadium, you will still have a great view. I have been to several baseball games and tested several seats and locations in the stadium and all pass with flying colors. They have heaters in the spring and half of the stadium is always in the shade if you don't like the sun.

I've only gone to Gohpers' games, but they are really fun! We parked at the State Fair and took the bus directly to the stadium...great for tailgating and the bus doesn't take too long (10-15 min) and drops you off right at the gate! Great little stadium for football, and they now serve beer at the U's games! Lines get a little long, but not sure how it is for Vikings games. Overall, love this stadium!

New, roomy, clean, modern bathrooms. Tons of food choices. BEER-WINE for sale unlike most other college stadiums. Third largest jumbotron in nation. Great atmosphere on UM campus. Tailgate is a work in progress with limited parking around stadium. Game Day is a blast, show up at least three hours early. UM Band puts on a good show and Gopher Football is on the rise!

This is not the home ground on MN football. But the stadium is located at a perfect place inside the university area. Due to its position inside the university area, any event is always lively with the presence of young fans from the school.

Went to TCF Bank Stadium for the first time for the first Vikings preseason game against the Raiders. Loved the weather that day and being able to enjoy the game outside was wonderful. Probably had the "worst" seats there and we could see everything very well and had a great time. Doesn't seem like there is a bad seat in the whole place. Also the staff was very accommodating for my wife who was temporarily in wheel chair and exchanged our bleacher seats for wheelchair accessible seating. Hope to go back for the Seahawks game this year. Skol!

I have been to TCF Bank Stadium several times and I think it is a great stadium. I sit on the North side of the stadium so that we get the sun, which helps when it is cold out. The South side of the stadium is shaded so that can be cold sometimes!

We came here for the Bears Vikings game. It was a ton of fun as long as we were bundled up. Fun field, prices were bad but not half as bad as Chicago!

there were bathroom lines stretching the width of the concourse during half time. People couldn't get to the vendors and moving across to return to the seat was very difficult.If this will be your first time at the stadium, here is a clue for finding the right gate entrance. Minnesota county names appear alphabetically don't let that fool you. Gate B is clockwise from Gate C. Ugh we missed the opening kickoff due to this costly mistake.

Brought my 6yr old to the gopher football game and even though they served beer, the packed stadium was safe and without trouble. Prices were reasonable and with the light rail, parking was cheap and the train drops you off at the stadium. I've had similar experiences at Wisconsin and Iowa's stadiums (neither serve beer) and was impressed with the Big Ten fans behavior.

went here a few weekends ago for the VIkings game. Loved the outdoor stadium. The M's club entry was hard to find and signage wasn't that great. Seats are typical plastic stadium seats of a normal width. If you have a chunky guy next to you it will be tight. Great big screen so when you exit the stadium you can still see the broadcast on the sidewalk.With the early sunset, the field is partially shaded. It was incredibly crowded at halftime in the walk ways and nearly impossible to move. If we didn't have the M club it would have been miserable trying to get food. THe M club made the day for us.

I had already watched a Gophers game at TCF Bank Stadium before. But this year we watched the Lions/Vikings game, and overall it was a pretty good experience. We had great seats, in which we were only one row away from the end zone, and it was a great day considering it was in October. We traveled up to Minneapolis the night before, and stayed in Woodbury. The next morning we left our hotel at 9, and the traffic going towards campus was light. Parking was a little bit of a challenge, but if you take the time to get there early, it will pay off. The parking garage was a few blocks from the stadium, so it was pretty easy to get to-and-from the stadium. The one complaint I would have about our seats was that they were bench seats, and by the time the 3rd quarter came around, it was a little uncomfortable (it also didn't help that the Vikings were losing). At halftime, lines from the restrooms to the concessions stands were long, and it got very crowded.Overall though, TCF Bank Stadium has a great atmosphere on game day. I think that this stadium, for obvious reasons, is better suited for a college football team than an NFL team. But either way, it's a great place to watch a game.

A really nice stadium and a great place to see a game! Sitting on the home side is a bit chilly in the shade, but so much FUN!Go Gophers!

I love the Metrodome as much as the next guy for it's history and the memories I have made there but I saw my first outdoor NFL game at TCF for Vikings vs. Lions. Although the Vikings never showed up to play football, the stadiums is awesome. We were front row 50 yard line on the Vikings side and it was the best game experience of my life. The beer guys were great and going to the bathroom didn't take all of halftime like it did in the dome. I recommend it!

I just saw the Vikings v. Atlanta game there with friends and we sat in the end zone. I have been to multiple Minnesota Gophers college games there usually with phenomenal seats. My conclusion after sitting in the end zone is that there are no bad seats in the house. This is a wonderful stadium and it would be worth taking a look even if there is no game. I also think that it is really cool that all of the counties in the state are listed on the outside as you walk around.

Great for concerts, games, matches, everything! The concessions are nice, the view is gorgeous; just be prepared for walking up some heavy-duty stairs!
