Loyalty
Program

Unlike anything else in college athletics, the Gopher Loyalty Program is an experience-based benefits program that allows active Gopher Athletics donors to select and participate in unique experiences with the department and their favorite sport programs. This rewards program allows fans to create personally customized benefit packages based on their own unique interests.

The Gopher Loyalty Program is available to all active Gopher Athletics donors who make an annual gift of $100 or more. If you support the Gophers, you have access to unique benefits as a member of the Gopher Loyalty Program.

Each fan is unique. They have different reasons why they're a part of Gopher Athletics. We recognize that fans have different needs and wants. That's what's so great about this program - every fan can customize it to include what they want. It's a program made for our fans, dedicated to our fans, and committed to improving their experience with Gopher Athletics.
