I think that I would put UND football over the Vikings, it seems like I know a lot of people who dont like the Vikings. The only way the Twins are that high is if they're having a good year. Also, I would drop women's hockey to 33rd, right behind sled-dog racing. Also I think the Wild are a lot lower on the list, I know exactly zero people who are big time Wild fans.

Id have to agree with Soohockey to an extent but i belive it dropped a few more spots due to competitive eating, and frolf.

I'd say hs football and hoops probably switch especially if you factor in the Mandan girls and the Dakota Wizards move in at 5 behind the Twins. Bismarck really supports its minor league teams. There Indoor football teams have usually drawn pretty well.

Sioux Fan at the Minnesota Twins Game. Anybody else see the Sioux shirt standing up going into mid - 6th commercial on tonights game vs. Detroit. They're everywhere, they're everywhere! Cool to see

Here's my take on Minot's sports interests:

1. H.S. BB

2. H.S. Football

3. Vikings

4. Minot State BB

5. UND Hockey

6. Minot State Football

7. NDSU Football

8. Twins

9. new CBA team coming to Minot

10. H.S. Hockey

1. H.S. BB

2. H.S. Football

3. Minot State Football

4. Minot State BB

5. UND Hockey

6. H.S Hockey

7. NDSU Football

8. Vikings

9. Twins

10. new CBA team.

5 and 6 would be interchangeable depending on whats going on, same goes with 8 and 9. I think Minot has gotten used to getting teams like the new CBA teams and being disappointed, so i don't think people are getting too excited.

No smack intended: NASCAR is top five in all four of those markets, I guarantee it.

I was talking to my son on the phone when he spotted the Sioux gear in the crowd.

I was talking to my son on the phone when he spotted the Sioux gear in the crowd.

I saw a guy outside the dome on Friday (9/8) with a jersey on, and said "go sioux" then went to my seat and ended up sitting about 5 seats away from him.

1. Vikings

2. H. S. Football

3. H. S. Basketball

4. Twins

5. Dakota Wizards Hoops

6. Mary Football

7. Bismarck Bobcats Hockey

8. UND hockey

9. NDSU football

10. UND football

Not that it matters, but here's Bismarck/Mandan with a few adjustments. The 5-10 range are debatable...depending on where you hang out. Wizards and Bobcats draw pretty well. I wish there was more interest in the big U's out east.
