±ØÍþÌåÓý¹Ù·½APPÏÂÔØ's connection to the University of Minnesota is nearly a century strong. Family ties constructed the University's Memorial Stadium in 1924. In honor of this legacy, 100-year old Hilding ±ØÍþÌåÓý¹Ù·½APPÏÂÔØ, a bricklayer on Memorial Stadium, had the honor of placing the first brick at TCF Bank Stadium in 2008.

Completed six weeks ahead of schedule, this Big 10 Conference stadium earned the first LEED Silver Certification by the US Green Building Council for a collegiate or professional football facility.
