MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Ryder Cup may be over, but the vacation is still in full swing for some sports fans.
Early numbers suggest this year’s Ryder Cup had around 250,000 fans. That’s at least 10,000 more fans than the last one at Medinah Country Club near Chicago in 2012. Six days of golf just wasn’t enough for some visiting sports fans.
It’s not every Monday the Newsroom Bar in downtown Minneapolis is swimming with day drinkers.
“We had to wait to find somewhere to open so we could start drinking, we had no choice,” Franklin Morrison said.
