## Resource

They called it “The Brick House.” It was Memorial Stadium, which served as the football home for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers from 1924 through 1981. Welcome to “Hangin’ Out with Bob,” a podcast with host Bob Edholm. In this episode, Bob provides an entertaining rundown of Memorial Stadium, which literally required more than a million bricks during its construction. Hence, “The Brick House.” Memorial Stadium was dedicated to the more than 3,500 university workers and graduates who served in World War I, 98 of whom died in service. The Gophers had a stellar record at Memorial Stadium, including 12 unbeaten seasons. They didn’t suffer a losing season at home from the building’s inception in 1924 until 1950, a span of 26 years. The Gophers left Memorial Stadium after the 1981 season and played their games at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis from 1982 to 2008. Memorial Stadium was eventually torn down in 1992. The Gophers returned to campus in 2009 to play in a new stadium just across the street from where “The Brick House” once stood. Although Memorial Stadium is long gone, it certainly has not been forgotten. Start here and listen for the fun as Bob Edholm also shares his own thoughts and memories of “The Brick House.”
