Ahhh, I have some actual experience at this!

Back in 1987, I was on a road trip to watch the Gophers play at North
Dakota in the old Ralph.  The Twins were in the World Series!

Some of the guys in the group brought a small (10") portable TV INTO THE
STANDS, and we watched BOTH!  At one point the Twins got a Grand Slam and
the Minnesota section erupted into cheers... almost made them stop on the
ice to see what happened! Too funny.... about 5 minutes later, the arena
announcer, gave the announcement that the Twins had gotten a Grand Slam and
then the whole ARENA erupted in cheers!  It was too kewl!!

Thanks for letting me relive the memories. :-)

GO BOSOX!  (they have 2 former Twins on their team)

GO Gophers!!!
