Cool video on the MN State Fair. Had no idea it was the biggest in the country. I might have to go.
The people in the largest city in North Dakota can drive to the Minnesota State Fair in 3.5 hours.
Or they can drive to the much smaller ND State Fair in 4 hours.
This another example of Eastern ND feeling more culturally aligned with Minnesota in a lot of ways?
Had the same thought. In todays screen addicted society, a lot of sports are trying to figure out ways to make games not so long.
Told mom at halftime, "felt like I just watched a full game."
Pro Tip from yesterday - if you just want a soda and something to eat and aren't picky....on the visitors side...walk past all the concessions that are busy (probably 8 minute wait)....straight to the end. Sat Chik Fil A. Zero customers.
Got a soda and chicken sandwhich in 30 seconds.
My elderly mother had to try the new cashless. She got a prepaid card they sell at the Alerus for that purpose....went to use it. Declined. Haha
Agree with everything you said. I experienced that last year - I left the building and there was fireworks already going off. I didnt know about them and they didnt musta started them the second the game got over.
Which prepared me this year - left with 4 minutes left. Walked over to the BMX track and about two minutes later they went off.
At least the second year they've had fireworks for the opener. A lot of people missed out. 9 minute long display.
Me being a certified pyro (😁) I made sure to get a front row seat. They do an impressive job! Even better when you can enjoy them from 50 yards away.
Don't miss out next year!
