I’m a Minnesota sports fan and it shows: match‑day diaries from Allianz Field and Target Center, trips to see Messi play, and reflections on hockey, football and more. Photos, weather notes and final scores capture each outing.

    For the 2nd half of the Wolves game I got to sit court side — right next to the scoring table! Incredible experience that close. Those dudes are huge! Bonus to see the Wolves win the series and send the Nuggets home. Plus getting on TV. The Nuggets coach liked to stand in my view though. 🤩🏀
