About 200 tickets remained Monday morning for the Gophers' football season opener against Texas Christian on Thursday night at TCF Bank Stadium.
The Gophers anticipate a sellout crowd and then sales of standing-room-only tickets when the U and second-ranked Horned Frogs square off at 8 p.m.
With the addition of about 1,700 temporary seats for Vikings games, TCF Bank Stadium's capacity is about 52,505.
"To me, we ought to have standing room only," Gophers coach Jerry Kill said. "I don't know all the games that have been played here, but I don't know if there's been any opening games that you would go and play a team that is in the top three in the country.
