Super Bowl LII, welcome from ESPN’s people of the Bold North

“I love my home state. I love cheering for Minnesota sports teams, listening to Minnesota radio stations, and talking with Minnesota shopkeepers I don’t know and strangers on the street (“Minnesota Nice” is real!). I love kayaking on the Mississippi River, practicing yoga at the Weisman Art Museum and walking across the Stone Arch Bridge in all seasons. I love eating walleye, chicken wild rice soup, and yes, even hot dish! I hope all visitors and fans find something they love here, and I hope they get to experience the warmth of the Bold North people – especially when the temperature says otherwise.”
