University of Minnesota marching band can form a perfect corporate logo

Chris Steller writes about the University of Minnesota’s marching band forming the TCF logo on a new promotional video. Not sure if this was included in the details of the contract signed when TCF put up dollars for the new stadium, but these were:

[TCF Bank Stadium] and/or Stadium Logo shall be prominently displayed in a fixed manner on the exterior of the Stadium . . . visible and readable from the two intersections abutting the Stadium site through which it is anticipated that the majority of cars passing the Stadium will move . . . [T]the University shall not be required to demolish any existing buildings in order to achieve such visibility.

[TCF Bank Stadium] shall appear on all University Home Game tickets . . . University shall not use Home Game or Event ticket backs to advertise or promote any Financial Services Company or its products or services. . . .

[TCF Bank Stadium] and/or Logo will appear on name badges used by service employees employed by University. . . .

[TCF Bank Stadium] and/or Logo will appear on all vehicles that are exclusively dedicated to maintenance at the Stadium.

Personally, I wouldn’t have allowed entrance into the stadium without the pass code: ”TCF. Open 7 Days.”

UPDATE [10/13]: Looks like my idea isn’t far from reality: Show Your Card Promotions at TCF Stadium.
