I attended the Minnesota Thunder's first-ever "school-day game" this morning. Roughly 3000 hellions were terrorizing the stands.
Lord knows why I drove to Blaine to take in this match. The Thunder were playing the Sioux Falls Spitfire, a team that is only nominally professional and, literally, not in the same league as their Minnesota counterparts. The game meant nothing. But it was a gorgeous day.
I departed around the 70th minute, with the Thunder leading 2-0, when the kids began a dangerous stampede while attempting to secure t-shirts from Thor. It was on the verge of disintegrating into a Hillsborough- or Heysel-like situation. The chaperones and security guards seemed oblivious to the danger.
