If moving from playing inside the Metrodome to outside on campus at TCF Bank Stadium was supposed to improve Gophers' football attendance, it hasn't worked.

For Minnesota's last five seasons in the Metrodome, attendance averaged 49,910. For the first five seasons at TCF Bank Stadium, the Gophers, who still have one home game remaining (an expected 50,805-ticket sellout Saturday against Wisconsin), have averaged 48,316.
