per FSN:

"We've been working long and hard over the past year to put this together," said Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague. "It's a long time coming, but it's something that we want to do often moving forward here at TCF Bank Stadium."

Drew Russell, the vice president of Intersport, estimates Friday's game will have between 45,000 to 50,000 fans -- and they'll all be packed into TCF Bank Stadium together.

"I think we're going to have a better atmosphere," Russell said. "This year, obviously, it's different. We've got the women's game preceding the men's game. Everybody in Minnesota is a Gopher hockey fan. We've got a home team. The closest thing we had to a home team here in Chicago is Notre Dame."
