The Minnesota Golden Gophers were once again under the lights at Huntington Bank Stadium, as their 2022 home opener drew tens of thousands of fans to the area.

It's the Gophers' first home game since taking down rival Wisconsin 278 days ago. While it's a reason to celebrate, a surge in nearby crime since that point has drawn concern of University of Minnesota officials.
