U. of M. announces full capacity for Gopher athletic events
The University of Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletics department announced yesterday “that it plans to operate at full capacity for live sporting events when teams return to competition for the 2021-22 academic year.” The new status begins with the Gopher volleyball, soccer, and football seasons this fall.
The press release also reported that the school will be transitioning to mobile tickets for all ticketed events on campus, with additional information and tutorials to be shared directly with ticket holders in the coming weeks.
We look forward to seeing all of you, our fellow GWH fans, at Ridder Arena this fall!!

Gopher Women's Hockey seniors Lauren Bench, Emily Brown, and Olivia Knowles will return to the team in the 2021-2022 season, as announced by the university last Thursday, June 17, after each of them accepted the additional season of eligibility granted by the NCAA because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All three shared their thoughts on their respective decisions in the announcement.
We look forward to seeing Lauren, Emily, Olivia, and the remainder of the squad on the ice for the program's 25th season, which starts October 1!!
