The Twin Cities is much larger the grand forks, but as mentioned there are 4 pro teams and countless college sports going on. The fan base does have their favorites and can't spend their time and money at every event. grand forks is like green bay, small market, sioux hockey and the packers are the only show around, regardless of size. Does your football team etc sellout? I bet not, Gopher basketball etc does very well. I'm so sick of hearing how Minnesota is full of fair weather fans, many other cities don't sell out every event, hell, most other cities can only support 1 or 2 pro sports.
