THE PAYOFF
Why Minnesota Is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons Minnesota works when you need to get a team together.
-
Easy to Get Everyone There
The Twin Cities’ I-494/694 beltway rings the metro, and once teams arrive downtown, Minneapolis’s skyway system lets them move between hotels and offices without going outside.
-
Indoor and Outdoor, Any Season
Winters here average lows near 9°F and summers average highs near 89°F, so indoor options like the Mall of America or Como Park’s conservatory keep things running whatever the forecast.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
The Minneapolis Convention Center added 760,000 square feet of exhibit and meeting space in 2002, and the University of Minnesota’s McNamara Alumni Center offers ten meeting rooms for something smaller.
-
Downtowns Built to Move Through
Minneapolis links 80 downtown blocks with 9.5 miles of enclosed skyway, and Rochester built its own skyway and underground walkways around Mayo Clinic. Teams move through downtown without going outside.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
Minneapolis’s North Loop packs restaurants and bars into its old warehouse blocks, and Duluth’s Canal Park does the same with restaurants and shops along the Lake Superior waterfront.
