Harlem Globetrotters are coming to the Target Center!

The Harlem Globetrotters
The Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater, and comedy. Created by Abe Saperstein in 1926 in Chicago, Illinois, the team adopted the name Harlem because of its connotations as a major black community. Over the years they have played more than 20,000 exhibition games in 118 countries. The teams signature song is Brother Bones's whistled version of  "Sweet Georgia Brown". Globie has been their mascot since 1993. The Harlem Globetrotters are performing two different dates at the Target Center in Minneapolis with three different shows. Ticket King has Harlem Globetrotters tickets in the lower level center court starting at only $75/ticket. I have always wanted to see these guys in action.

Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears Update

What a mess!!! The Vikings FINALLY made up their mind 4 days later. We are all just so disappointed in them. Ticket holders with lower-level tickets (100 level) will get lower-level seating access at TCF Bank Stadium (general admission). UNTIL SEATING IS AT CAPACITY. Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. for those 100 level ticket holders with line queues starting at 4:00 p.m. Ticket holders with upper-level tickets (200 level) will only have upper level seating access at TCF Bank Stadium (general admission). Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. for those 200 level ticket holders. If any of you have questions about this just give us a ring!

Chicago Bears Trying to Block the Monday night game?!!!

OF COURSE there would be once again ANOTHER hold up. The Bears do not feel that the field is acceptable. The Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris tweeted today "What if your head hits it?"Now there are also talks that the game could be moved to the Georgia Dome because ESPN has the rights to NFL broadcasts on Monday nights and will be in Atlanta the following week.


Minnesota Wild vs. Ottawa Senators tickets for tonights game!!

Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild play the Ottawa Senators tonight at the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul and Ticket King still has tickets available. Upper level tickets start at $32.50/ticket and lower level tickets start at $52.50/ticket. As we all know, parking is such a hassle on game day and tends to be pretty expensive. We are selling parking passes for only $5 for the Rivercentre parking ramp right next to the Xcel Energy Center. There is a Ticket King office just a 1/2 block away from the Xcel so you could just stop by the office to pick up your tickets right before the game.

The big question "Where are the Minnesota Vikings playing Monday night?"

EVERYONE is wondering where the Vikings will be on Monday December 20th. Well....according to KFAN and WCCO they are playing at the outdoor TCF Bank Stadium. BRRRR!!!!!! There are quite a few things that need to be taken care of before they play and I only know two of them :). One, new goal posts- Professional Football has goalposts 18' 6" wide. College has been widened to 23'4". And two, clearing the snow from the field. Looks like they are going to hire 400 people to help take care of that. Another issue is that there are not as many seats in the TCF Bank Stadium as there are in the Metrodome in Minneapolis. So what now?! Who knew that the Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears game would be this nuts?! I need your thoughts people!!

Metrodome Roof Collapse

Vikings vs. New York Giants game= FAIL!!!

I really hate snow. I have no idea why I even put up with it and as if the snow wasn't bad enough...the dome had to collapse. The phone has been ringing off the hook since 8 a.m.  Today is going to be insane! For all the folks who purchased tickets to the game...we feel your pain. It is too bad the game couldn't have been played at TCF bank Stadium. It would just take way too much time and people to clean all of the snow off of the field. Are any of you making the trip to Detroit for the Vikings vs. Giants game tonight?! After all of this trouble I still hope that the Vikings win. I wonder if the Metrodome will be back together by December 20th where the Minnesota Vikings play the Chicago Bears. It just seems that with all of this cold weather we have that it is impossible to get the dome back in running order. I guess we will have to just wait and see....

Well, today has been eventful. The poor cat was not enjoying his time here so Amanda brought him home. There was a whole lot of meowin' going on. Today a guy came in and bought some Jingle Ball tickets for his girlfriend and daughter. He asked me to name one person or group that was going to be there. The first that came to mind was B.o.B. Then, he started singing "Nothin' on you". Dude was HILARIOUS. He bought his tickets and then we parted with a "peace out". Today has been a good day :)

Cat day!

Rocky
Today Amanda brought her cat into work. His name is Rocky! He doesn't enjoy the cold. He does like to come to the window and greet customers though. He spends a lot of his time meowing around the office and walking on desks. For some reason the cats really love the guys around the office so they tend to spend a lot of time in their work areas as well. Come in and drop off your gifts for Toys for Tots, get your free Helga hat and kick it with Rocky! See you soooon!!!
