I’ll update the original post if people want to add other locations as we go.

-Twin Cities - Darby’s Pub and Grill in Minneapolis (Downtown/North Loop area right off the rail. About two blocks north from Target Field) this week. This is the main game watch location. Expecting big numbers there, so if you’re expecting to go, go earlier for parking purposes, especially with the Twins playing at home later on that night. Tons of drawings and giveaways, including a Steve Prohm signed basketball.

The turnaround time on announcements is slower than prior years.

For example for SDSU, we submitted Friday the 24th and it wasn’t posted until 8/30.

Nyc is Foley’s by the way.

Pants drive to Darby's or park and bring in the light rail from somewhere? TIA.

I'll be at Darby's at 3:00 in the North Loop. Two blocks from my place!

There's street parking around North Loop but will be a few bucks. Not sure if there is a home Twins game or not on Saturday but that would change parking options and cost. Light rail stop (Target Field Station) is literally about 400 feet from Darby's. Might be your best option

It might be easier for you from a construction standpoint if you took the rail. If you’re driving, just go earlier. Marcus, the owner of Darby’s sent me a message saying to people if they get there by 3:30 the parking ramp should still be $5 but will switch to $13 after 4 because of the Twins game.

Side note. The Iowa gamewatch locations change almost every year. The Loop in North Loop of MPLS was the location for awhile but have heard not anymore because the owners and staff had enough of Hawk fans and how big of ******** they are. Same for Darby's...used to be the Hawk bar but last year I chatted with the owner and he said he stopped it because they were just awful. Classy

Darby’s absolutely love us. I can’t imagine changing it unless we just outgrow the place (capacity is only like 125 or something like that.)
