21 Stadiums Across America You Didn't Know Were This Young

5. Huntington Bank Stadium (2009) – University of Minnesota

After decades of sharing the off-campus Metrodome with the Minnesota Vikings, the Golden Gophers finally came home with the opening of Huntington Bank Stadium in 2009. The move wasn’t just about convenience—it was about re-establishing a sense of tradition and pride. The 50,805-seat stadium is a mix of timeless collegiate design and 21st-century engineering, with brick and cast-stone elements that tie it to the rest of campus, and enough high-tech amenities to satisfy today’s fans. Its horseshoe configuration amplifies crowd noise, while expansive club levels, cozy suites, and state-of-the-art video boards enhance the fan experience. It’s also winter-ready, with heated concrete in select areas and facilities built to withstand the famously frigid Minnesota climate. With sweeping skyline views and a strong connection to campus life, Huntington Bank Stadium feels like a true home for Gopher football—a venue that bridges generations while embracing the future.
