Welcome to Minnesota, Super Bowl Folks [View all]

[MineralMan]

Don't forget your parkas and ear warmers, though. The weather guy is indicating that high temperatures here next weekend will be in the near to below zero range. It's cold in Minnesota, ladies and gentlemen.

Now, you'll be able to avoid being outside in the cold most of the time, but there's lots too see and do around here if you feel up to wandering out of doors for a while. You can call Uber or take the light rail to get places, or use our unique skyway system in Minneapolis avoid being outdoors, but you might want to venture out, at least a little.

Minnesota has spend tons of time and oodles of money coming up with things for you to do and see. Were a friendly, home-towny state, so we've done things to give you the feel of Minnesota. Don't just go to the game, your hotel and a nearby restaurant. Venture out. You'll find guides in your hotel room and people will be making lots of suggestions.

But, you'll need a good parka, a hat that protects your delicate ears from frostbite, and a pair of bulky, well-insulated gloves or mittens to keep your fingers from turning black and falling off. You can find all of those things at the Mall of America, which hopes you'll visit on the light rail's Blue Line. Yes, they do.

So, Welcome. Spend some money here. We can use it.
