'U' Names MA Mortenson Stadium Contractor

Minneapolis (AP) ― The University of Minnesota has announced that Minneapolis-based MA Mortenson Company will be the general contractor for the school's new football stadium.

Mortenson is a frequent builder of sports facilities and constructed the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul and Target Center in Minneapolis.

The new Gophers stadium is expected to cost $288.5 million and open for play in 2009. The university must still raise $31 million toward its $86 million portion of the project.

Memorial Stadium was the home of Minnesota Golden Gophers football from 1924 until 1981.
