TCF Financial Corporation (“TCF”) and the University of Minnesota (“the University”) announced a multiyear corporate sponsorship for a new stadium. The deal provides TCF with exclusive naming rights for the stadium to be called “TCF Bank Stadium.” In the naming rights agreement, TCF will pay the University $35 million over 25 years. The University and TCF have also agreed to extend TCF’s sponsorship of the U Card, with estimated payments to the University of more than $1.6 million annually for student scholarships and programs, and other non-stadium purposes. TCF will also be able to offer an affinity debit card to University alumni and athletics supporters, for which the University will receive annual royalties. TCF will also have options to extend its ATM lease and to lease a new banking office on the University of Minnesota campus.
