suggestions for a hotel? Kid friendly, pool for swimming. As it stands, kids have off that Friday so we could use that day to drive and swim.
Also, what about parking near stadium?

Stay near MOA and take the light rail to the game. There are many affordable hotels within a block of a light rail stop, they also have free shuttles to the mall.

If I were coming to Minneapolis for that game I would stay on campus if possible, next choice would be downtown Minneapolis. You can certainly stay by the Mall Of America if you want but staying in the suburbs for a road trip would be too boring. Although if you have kids then one of the hotels with a waterpark near the Mall might be your best choice, and the light rail is very convenient to get downtown. The best campus hotel is the Radisson on Washington Ave, a couple blocks from the stadium.

I've stayed at the Radisson on campus, but, it's overpriced in my opinion. You can get a lot more for less $, by going downtown.

I can't recall if the Light Rail goes past the stadium but there are many options to stay at a hotel near various stations and then rail it in.

There's a good courtyard type spot that's already hosted one Badger tailgate this year, too, although it was before a hockey game in which the Badgers weren't playing.

The light rail goes to the Metrodome. It is a bit of a hike to TCF from there.

HF: We always stay in downtown Minneapolis, close to the Target Center, which gives good access to nearby restaurants. It isn't cheap (Radisson and Marriott are our favorites), but it is also close to the Pohle Badger Bash which is a great pregame party, and which usually has buses to and from the stadium.

Not sure the hotels will work for you if you want to save $$, but I'd still think about doing the Bash and using their buses.

Try the two Depot hotels Marriott Courtyard or Resident Inn on Washington Ave. About 10 minutes from TCF. Some great food/drink spots within walking.

I thought the light rail had a stop in the massive concourses of TCF.

It could, they're certainly big enough.

Not during Iowa and UW games. Too many people there for those games.

Don't let Piper or Ruppy try to tell you it will be a tough ticket and overpay in advance.

We travel to Minneapolis often, I have three sisters that live there, and we always stay here:

We haven't used the pool, since it is basically a lap pool, but the indoor park is great for the kids. They also have a free breakfast bar that is pretty decent.

What do you mean by tough ticket? It will be sold out well in advance so the only way to get tickets will be on the secondary market. Nothing is a tough ticket anymore with stub hub and craigs list and other internet sites, if you're willing to pay big bucks you can go to any event you want. This game will be a tough ticket to get, not sure why you would think it wouldn't be.

Because tickets for the first ever Big 10 game at TCF, also vs the Badgers, weren't very hard to get?

If you got tickets to that game you got them on the secondary market, unless you got some of the 3,000 tix that are alotted to the visiting team. If you want to go to the game you can go, you just might have to pay a little higher price. Not sure what you're not grasping about this confusing concept.

Sorry, it was actually "Golden Shower" who was telling us we would all be watching from the bar, not Piper. I just went back to find the thread. I get the concept, GS was telling us there wouldn't even be much of a secondary market. My apologies, Piper.

U R Dumm. Tickets were available outside the stadiette for about face immediately prior to kickoff at the TCF Big Ten opener. This means they weren't hard to get. In fact, there were plenty of empty seats during that game.
