Our neighborhood: Stadium Village
The McNamara Alumni Center is located in Stadium Village, a dynamic University of Minnesota neighborhood. While the neighborhood’s moniker derives from Memorial Stadium, torn down in 1992 and where the McNamara Alumni Center now stands, today the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team takes the field at the beautiful and adjacent Huntington Bank Stadium. Williams Arena and Mariucci Arena, home of Golden Gopher basketball and hockey respectively, are also located across the street from the alumni center.
With numerous restaurants, hotels, coffee shops and convenient stores, the alumni center is a great venue for conferences and events.
