Gophers can't lose heading into that game.
On ESPN's college football podcast two weeks ago, Herbstreit was talking about how difficult it can be to host game day in major cities because there often isn't room for their full setup.
It would help if Minnesota had a plan in place to host them near the stadium with room for all of the fans to attend.
That might require upsetting a tailgate lot, or even an entire street, but I think most people would look the other way for this.
Requires two solid weeks of performance before the fans should even be thinking about it.
Long story short, Game Day scouts locations weeks in advance, but doesn't make a decision until the last possible minute.
This is part of a scouting trip.
Hopefully Minnesota admin is in touch w/ them about location selection, and flexible to their approach.
