Also on Saturday, the
Minnesota Twins will be holding a "moving sale" at the Metrodome, which begins at 10 a.m., and runs until 4 p.m. Please be advised that people attending that event will also be able to park in the Metrodome upper lot.
If you can't make it to the game,
you can listen to the action live online, through Augsburg's live audio webcast (Stretch Internet).
The game will mark the 20th season in a row that Augsburg has played a football game at the Metrodome. Augsburg will be making its 23rd football appearance at the Metrodome this season since 1983, the most of any MIAC school. The Auggies have a 8-14 record in games played at the Metrodome and a 9-14 record all-time in games played indoors. Augsburg also won an NCAA Division III playoff game over Concordia-Moorhead at the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D., in 1997.
