GG -
I can't remember what year it was, we were living 60 miles South by then, out in the country.
But yes, there was like a World Sports event damn near every month it seemed.
Super Bowl was pretty neat to watch (on tv) - Knowing all those famous people had to actually look at a map to figure out where in the hell Minnesota was? That was fun
More than a few of them thought they could go the headwaters of the Mississippi. Then they found out, 1 the park isn't open all year, 2 it's cold as hell here in winter, and 3 it's a 5 hour drive One Way. LOL
I don't think so many private jets have left from the 3 local airports any faster after than after that game!
All the True Sports fans (there to actually watch) all seemed to be really nice.
Tried to get tickets for the Final 4 but didn't want to pay 12 times list price. Though again in the 80's remember seeing David Rivers (not Doc) and Nortre Dame in the Midwest Regionals at the dome.
