October 29 - November 3

The Golden Helmet

Found while excavating during construction on campus, the Golden Helmet is believed to be one of the first football helmets EVER. Forged in the hot fires of Gopher Pride, legend has it that the Golden Helmet Trophy grants the team that possesses it with fame and glory for all time! However, the only way to obtain this mysterious trophy is to win it through good sportsmanship and outstanding school spirit during the University of Minnesota Homecoming Competitions.

The 2007 Homecoming Committee encourages all of the U of M-Twin Cities student body to participate in Homecoming events! The cost to participate is $10 for each member on your team. There is no limit to how many people can be on your team. Get your friends together and take home the trophy! Compete in any or all of the Homecoming events. Points will be awarded for each event and the team with the most points will win the trophy. Must be a registered University of MN student to participate.

Competition registration is closed.
