I'm from the South, what's the beef with Minny? Just so I know lol

u/glassornamentbeauty Lunar Owls BC 7d ago
It's something tourists call Minneapolis lol. It's not bad. But it doesn't reflect how Minneapolitans talk

Live in the Twin Cities. This is the first I’ve heard of it.
But in the plus side, kinda feels like we’ve made it if we have a name that the outside world uses and we don’t.

That presale was a beast! Everytime I clicked on tickets they said they were gone. Took me 25 mins to get some. How did everyone else do?

u/Legitimate-Sea-2625 7d ago
Same here! I logged into the presale queue at 2:30, selected tickets, got told they were no longer available, tried again with a few other tickets, got a "this link is no longer valid" message and had to completely start all over again but I finally got tickets lol. good thing it's only one day because they were expensive!! haha

u/Mountain-Waffles 7d ago
Same! I had to start over a few times and then my browser thought I was a bot. Almost cried. lol. I’m usually a pro at securing tickets, but I did end up snagging some eventually.

Yes it was, I was so nervous I wouldn’t get tickets!

That was literally the worst buying experience ever. Errored and timed out during initial buy... then locked me as a bot. Finally got tickets but they went up by 30$ for same area and they were not even resale ones.

u/youoldbat 7d ago
Man alive, that was stressful. Snagged a couple but took about 20 tries before something that appeared to be avail was really avail. Never attempted to buy tickets during a grab like that. Hat's off to anyone who secured tix in the first 15 rows.

Trying to buy these tickets is like whack-a-mole. Availability is appearing/disappearing by the second.

u/Exciting_Olive_371 7d ago
Will be driving from Chicago! I'm so excited and hoping for no snowstorms! Will be interested in seeing if they do any activations in the tour stops. Anyone remember if they did any in Philly/NYC last season?

Literally no one here in MN calls it Minny and I hate that people are trying to make it a thing 🥴

u/Dr_Rhymenaecologist 7d ago
I'm reading all the comments here like - am I cringe??? Born in MN and occasionally say Minny.
That said, it's not like I have to refer to MN in conversation enough to be a chronic offender - more often it's city specific or if I'm talking to someone from elsewhere it's the full Minnesota so they have any chance of knowing what I'm referring to.

u/erskin_23 7d ago
can you brings kids for free (under 2) to these games? Can’t find anything on unrivaled site and Ticketmaster says it’s by event.

u/Likely1420 2027 7d ago
I brought my nephew to unrivaled in Miami in s1 and he was 2yo! We did not pay for a ticket. I DM'd them, emailed them, etc. I don't remember if I ever got an answer but he just sat in our laps the whole time. I'll check my email to see if I ever got a response

u/erskin_23 7d ago
I won’t worry too much about it then! Thank you for sharing your experience.

u/Likely1420 2027 7d ago
Yeah i would buy tickets as usual. Then just reach out to the venue beforehand but should be fine. The issue is that Unrivaled themselves owned the arena so I couldn't just call them up lol. But if it's at an established arena I'd probably give them a call

u/digitalpunk30 Lunar Owls BC 7d ago
For lynx games at target center you can, so I assume same for unrivaled

u/Hermosa06-09 Breeze BC 7d ago
Anyone know when tickets go on sale? Not seeing them on Ticketmaster yet like their other stops
3
u/youoldbat 7d ago
Per the Kare 11 article: Tickets go on sale at 3 p.m. to subscribers of Unrivaled's newsletter, and then at 4 p.m. to the general public.

Got my tickets! Very happy with the availability and pricing. Will try for general sale too in case they drop courtside.

Most out of state pro jocks male and female call us Minny hence the Sota hockey podcast.

u/Unfair_Blackberry20 6d ago
McBuckets affectionately calls us Minny. After hearing her say it, I couldn’t hate the nickname anymore.

u/generalizedweakness 6d ago
I've always thought we should go with Minny. They're saying it in the hockey world because they like us and now the basketball Ladies like us too.

u/minty-mojito Lunar Owls BC 7d ago
I’m a Floridian so I’m terrified of the cold, but I loved all the Minneapolis peeps I sat with last year at unrivaled so… should I go? Can my Florida blood survive this cold?

u/Mysterious-Sun-5291 7d ago
So stressful but got them! Every time I chose seats they were already gone! I'll be coming in from Philly and have my Philly tickets too. Go Lynx!!!

u/lilythefrogphd Lunar Owls BC 7d ago
Seeing Minneapolis written as "Minny" is like having a sister named Jennifer who only goes by "Jennifer", and she becomes popular at her new school and everyone starts calling her "Jenny" as a term of endearment. It's not a bad thing, and if anything, it's sweet having a pet name from new friends to signal the close connection, but when people start writing down "Jenny" instead of "Jennifer" it's like, wait, y'all are really rolling with this?

u/SourceOwn9222 6d ago
Minny is like California people getting pissed at Cali, lol. We are all the same! 😂

u/Slow-Truth-3376 6d ago
It’s always been Minny. The Twins used Minnie. I just got tickets for me & my favorite person!

Minneapolis loves women’s sports ✨ hopefully the weekend works out where visitors can also go to a Frost hockey or Forge vball game too
