I've been feeling a little bummed out about having to miss the USA-England match on June 12 because of travel. But I was just looking at my itinerary and found that, while I can't watch it here in NC with my fellow Carolina fans, the game begins two hours after I land at MSP but ends before I have to be anywhere. Naturally, I'm looking for a recommendation on where to watch. Any suggestions?
You'll get a sizable crowd at The Sweetwater in the Kelly Inn in St. Paul. it's an official U.S. Soccer Bar. Kelly Inn 161 Saint Anthony Ave Saint Paul, MN 55103 (651) 227-8711 If you find yourself in Minneapolis instead I'd recommend Brit's Pub. Brit's Pub 1110 Nicollet Mall (and we pronounce the T in Nicollet here in MN by the way) Minneapolis, MN 55403 612-332-3908 Enjoy!
Thanks; I'll see you guys there. (I'll be the dude showing up in formalwear, because I'm going to a wedding after the game.) ::checks MetroTransit:: and hey, I won't even be cutting it slightly close on the timing. Sweet!
Just wanted to thank Minnesota (even if I didn't meet any of you here specifically) for an awesome party and cool people to chat with while I watched the game. The atmosphere at the Sweetwater was way better than if I'd been watching alone on my hotel TV; being surrounded by fellow fans made Dempsey's goal the second greatest moment of my Saturday. (Sorry, Clint, but first place is reserved for two of my best friends tying the knot.)
