|  |  | Stadium Update: Tribal Tribute
Lofty both in design and significance, a tribute to Minnesota’s Native communities—plans for which were unveiled at the Board of Regents meeting in September—will grace the main entrance to TCF Bank Stadium. The tribute plaza is in recognition of a $12.5 million gift to the University last fall from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC): $10 million for the new stadium and $2.5 million in matching funds for a $5 million endowment that will be used for scholarships, with a preference given to American Indian students. The tribute will be named the Minnesota Tribal Nations Plaza.
