Editors Note: As someone whose moved around numerous times, one thing I’m always looking for is places to find other Gophers to watch Gopher games with. I’m asking for your help to help me create an extensive list of Gopher bars across the nation. Luckily, when I lived in Dallas I randomly noticed my favorite dive Bar (Stan’s Bluenote) out of no where added a Gopher Logo which linked me up with the North Texas Alumni network to watch games. This will be an evolving list–if you have a bar/location (local to MN or anywhere else) that you’d like to add please DM me at @DevinCNelson4 on “X” and I’ll update it! (PS–I just moved to Nashville and am in the process of hunting down a Gopher Bar so if anyone is in the area hit me up and let’s Row the Boat!)
