Final Steel Beams Placed At Gopher Stadium

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― It's another milestone for the University of Minnesota's new football stadium being built on campus.

The final steel beams were placed day on the TCF Bank Stadium. That will mark the topping-off of the building's main structure.

For today's topping-off, two steel beams will be placed on the auxiliary scoreboard structure at the east end of the stadium. The beams have been signed by the steelworkers working on the project, as well as by stadium project executives and supporters.

More than 8,800 tons of steel were erected and assembled since last January to build the stadium frame.

The Gophers are scheduled to start playing football in the new stadium in 2009.
