FIVE THINGS TO KNOW FOR GOPHER FOOTBALL IN 2021

Gopher Hour before each game features reduced price drink and food specials. It begins at 5:30 pm for the September 2 game. While it might not be as diverse an offering as the Minnesota State Fair, I imagine you will find something great for a pre-game meal. Check out these new foods at Gopher football.

There are no limits on fan attendance at home games this season. Facial coverings are required while indoors unless in the act of eating or drinking. The school encourages fans to wear masks when outdoors as well.

Fans can enter the stadium more quickly without having to empty their pockets or take off their shoes. (I'm not sure they actually required this.) The school will use enhanced magnetometers for security.
