Newspaper/Magazine Spread: Inaugural Game at TCF Bank Stadium

"This item is a two-page spread from a newspaper or magazine commemorating the inaugural game at TCF Bank Stadium. The image depicts a wide view of the stadium filled with a large crowd of fans, many wearing yellow or gold shirts and cheering. The colors on the stadium look vibrant, with green turf and seating in brown tones. A large banner spans the top of the image with the text ""INAUGURAL GAME OF TCF BANK STADIUM"" and details about the game: ""Gophers 20, Ait Force 13", ""Saturday, September 12, 2009", and ""Attendance 50,805"". The bottom of the left page features a quote that reads, ""THIS IS SO HISTORIC... I THINK MY DAD IS WITH US RIGHT NOW. AND HE'S SMILING GRANDLY. A short attribution is visible below the quote on the right page, though illegible. The item is printed on standard newspaper or magazine paper and is folded in the center due to being a multi-page spread. There are visible creases along the fold line and possibly some curling or wear along the edges, which are typical for newspaper or magazine paper. The overall condition appears fair, consistent with a used and potentially stored paper item. No specific manufacturer's marks or publication details are clearly visible, but it certainly dates to September 2009."
