i was waiting for someone to mention Wells Fargo. I agree that Minneapolis is one of the best cities for big time corporate HQ. well beyond the size of their market. the only thing they’re lacking in this regard is that “defining industry” that people associate with the city. like…

banking and media, publishing with NYC
seafood and aviation with Seattle
entertainment industry with LA
beef, pork and pizza with Chicago (no wonder we’re all a bunch of fat asses)

I should note also that what I meant about Honeywell / Wells Fargo is that we used to have more.. and just lost Northwest also, but we still have more than our population merits.

Minnesota has about 20 Fortune 500 companies, which is rather large considering we have the 21st largest population in the country. This isn’t including Cargill (the largest private company) and Honeywell / Wells Fargo (based here as Norwest) … Minnesota has many big name companies and Rubio will be able to find endorsements when he gets here.

Why is it so hard to imagine Rubio doing a Best Buy, Target or 3M (Minnesota based companies) endorsment (he already has Gillette)? Yeah, he would sell more jerseys in NY, but we have Fortune 500 companies in the Midwest also.

Rubio needs to ride his buy out, out of Minnesota and into NY or he will lose big time money in endorsements.

I loved watching that Spanish team play in the 08 Olympics..even though they were horribly racist and un PC in their photo.

Having Rubio would make Rambis’s job and transistion a lot easier
