Lindsay Whalen Takes ESPN On Tour Of Minneapolis
During Super Bowl week, Lynx guard Lindsay Whalen took ESPN’s Sarah Spain on a little mini tour of Minneapolis. The duo talked about a plethora of things, ranging from Whalen’s childhood and favorite food joints.
There were five two-minute videos from the tour.
In the first video, a caffeinated Whalen talks about playing in her own state and what that means to her.
With Minneapolis hosting the #SuperBowl who better to take @SarahSpain on a tour than hometown hero and @minnesotalynx star @Lindsay_13?

Here, the two eat a Jucy Lucy at Matt’s. It was Whalen’s first-ever Jucy Lucy. Whalen discusses her favorite childhood athletes and how she eventually got into basketball as a kid.

The duo does some more eating at The Freehouse. Ahhh, cheese curds.
The Land of 10,000 Lakes? More like the Land of 10,000 Calories. 😂

Instead of actually exploring the area, Whalen tells Spain her favorite spots in the area. In their defense, it was very cold outside. We would have done the same thing.
Yes, there is more to Minneapolis than eating and drinking, as @minnesotalynx host @Lindsay_13 shares with @SarahSpain. Like, exploring the cold. Frozen Minnehaha Falls, anyone? pic.twitter.com/swTrRJnHg1

At their final stop, Whalen and Spain stop at the Hewing Hotel for a little night cap. The two discuss how crazy it was going to Prince’s place after winning the 2015 WNBA Championship.
Ice sculpted bars. Outdoor hot tubs. Delicious smelt.
