The Golden Gophers debuted in their new stadium last weekend. While it was an exciting time for everyone attending the game in Minneapolis, others were not. Residents of the St. Anthony Park neighborhood of St. Paul reported to the Pioneer Press they could hear the game announcers 2 miles away. These people prefer to hear the sounds of "normal", meaning the sounds of the State Fair (including concerts), St. Paul Saints games at Midway Stadium and the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota.

If you ask me, this is pretty ridiculous. While I understand that not everyone is a college football fan (I am!) but when you think about it, 5 or 6 games a season (maybe 2 or 3 games a month) between September and November for a few hours isn't too much to ask. These are the exact same people who have to put up with the State Fair for 12 days, Saints games for 4 months and the U of M from September to May. I really liked what Emma Quinlan Connolly said "She is growing tired of the constant complaints — from road construction to Fair noise. The latest drama about the new stadium was over the top, she said. 'For me, it was the last straw,' she said. 'Like, get over yourself. We live in the city; just deal with it.'"
