We are now in the home stretch of our stadium effort. The 2006 legislative session ends on May 22nd, so we have less than a week left to ensure that a Gopher stadium bill gets passed. The Senate has already appointed five members to the Gopher stadium conference committee and the House is expected to appoint their members soon. This group will work to find a compromise between the different versions of a Gopher stadium bill passed by the House and Senate.
This is a critical time as the next few days will decide the ultimate fate of a new campus stadium at the University of Minnesota. We need everyone’s help during this final push to ensure a stadium bill gets passed this year!
Please contact your legislators and tell them to help ensure a Gopher stadium bill that the Governor will sign gets passed this week! Let them know that this is the time for action and ask them to help bring Gopher football back to campus.
