Maybe not naming rights, but Patterson should do something like give away free root canals! :D

We got 8 years. If we invest right we could get the naming rights. I'm sure we can all do $500 invested correctly it should be at least doubled and I'm sure the GH can pick up the rest. Lol

We should start our own cryptocurrency and name it after the Gophers. We'll call it "Gold Coin" and invest everything we have in Gold Coin not to be confused with gold coins. After we hit it big, we'll name it "Brad DaviDson punches men in the Balls Stadium" then take the remaining money we have to construct a giant wall our across our eastern border.
 

Let's not forget Medtronic is local (outside of their Ireland tax advantage headquarters). Welcome to "pacemaker" stadium.

Apparently Huntington Bank can't even afford to replace signage on some locations. The old Burnsville TCF still has one of those tarp signs, the kind you'd see at a fireworks stand, hanging over the old sign on the front of the building.

Their first item of business will be to rename the "Boston Scientific Heart of the Game" award
 

Chia Pet Stadium. They even have a Floyd of Rosedale Chia Pet:

I do like the Wheaties Cereal Bowl. General Mills should be all over it.

If this is true the U of M might let them out of the deal early free of charge.
Might be good for both parties

The sign on the Burnsville bank is 100% true. I pass it on the way to Costco and/or Chick-Fil-A.

Interesting that 30 years ago Minnesota was home to more than 30 Fortune 500 companies.
 



What are the 12 the got taken over/merged?

Off the top of my head: Honeywell (new company kept the name), Norwest (new company kept Wells Fargo name), Northwest Air (new company kept Delta name) ... obviously some more I'm missing.


EDIT: all the good info here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_based_in_Minneapolis–Saint_Paul

Bottom has the merged defunct.

If you expand to Fortune 1000 there are 24 companies here.

I don't think it was ever that high. This article says "When Fortune started its 500 list in 1955, Minnesota had 11 companies on it ... by 2011, the number had grown to 20."

But I think we still have the most per capita.

Concerns grow as the state loses more Fortune 500 headquarters.
