When a sporting event needs to relocate to a larger venue because its original facility won’t fit enough fans, the quality of competition is likely top-notch.
That’ll be the case on Friday, when No. 1 Minnesota faces No. 2 Iowa in a marquee matchup at Williams Arena instead of the usual Sports Pavilion.
The Sports Pavilion can seat only 5,840 fans, compared with 14,625 at Williams Arena.
Head assistant coach Brandon Eggum said with each program’s history, fans know that it’s worth the drive to come watch.
