Block G

[Gopher07]

Never gone before but I'll be late(r) arriving for Thursday's pregame activities, and see that there will be a polka band starting at 6pm at Block G. Being a red-blooded upper midwesterner, I love me a good polka band.

Those of you that head there before the game, how are the food options? Are there adult beverage options available? Getting to stadium village after 6pm I might want to skip the lines at the bar and grab a bit and a drink or two right next to the stadium instead.

I think it has been a thing for at least the last 3 or 4 years, I've found references to it from before the Syracuse game in 2012

Nothing gets Minnesota Football fans fired up like polka!
