Mall Of America Meet - Bloomington MN

15686 Views 125 Replies 25 Participants Last post by  benstep11
Hello all from your MN State Rep.

I was looking at the midwest meet calendar for this summer and noticed there's nothing going on in August yet. I know this may be a bit far out for some of you, but I'm the type to plan in advance, so here goes.

I'd like to hold a meet at the Mall Of America this August. I was thinking either the 15th or the 22nd.

Anyone from surrounding states that have wanted a reason to drive up for a day at the MOA, this would be a perfect time for it. There are tons of hotels in the area, lots of restaurants, entertainment, and fun.

The Mall of America is a great family place, so kids/spouses/significant others are more than encouraged to attend.

Let's hear some ideas or opinions!

I believe the 22nd was decided and are you talking about Canterbury?
Yeah, I have never been there myself, I always go to Mystic Lake, but I know its there.

I have been there once and it's decent. Nothing special though, if it were me I'd go to Forest Lake for the carriage races.
I got my 02 LT with 114k on it for 5800 in Waconia. There are some decent deals out there.
Iv been looking, but nothing THAT cheap. I would really like to find either an LT or LTZ so i can get the foglights.

I think I got lucky. Brand new brakes and tires. They had it on the lot for one day before I got there.
eep.... uhhh on the 22nd its gone to 90% no.... sisters b-day party... probably gunna go to her party.. sorry guys.. if something changes i'm gunna try to make it.. but as of rite now i'm a no...
Which day did we end up deciding on, the 15th or the 22nd... can't remember and a little to lazy to search back through the thread.

Also not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but there is also a very nice casino, and a horse racing track not to far from the MOA if anyone likes to gamble. :undecided
Yeah, it's the 22nd. Mystic and Canterbury are both pretty close.

I understand. You have to go with the family first. There'll be another meet in the spring, and you better make it to that one. :laugh:

I did some scouting this past weekend of the meet location. I went out there on Saturday morning and figured out that it gets pretty busy around there right around lunch time. I figure if we meet there around 11 am we should be able to find a place where we can all park together. Hang out there for a bit, then cruise down to the mall, set up a parking location down there, and enjoy all the mall has to offer.

I also learned that all the lots at the park are pay lots. They cost 75c per hour to park there. Is everyone okay with putting up a little pocket change, or should I try to find a free lot? There are quite a few picnic areas with grills already there, so it'd be really convenient. Plus it's close to the Mall.

Chime in and let me know your thoughts and opinions.
Add me sound like this will turn out great

That sounds good.
Go ahead and put me down, I don't have anything going on that Saturday, that is until now :woot:

I'm ok with a pay lot. Has the location been finalized as Canterbury then?

I think Canterbury was mentioned as a local attraction for people staying for the weekend.

But I could be wrong.
Ah, still MOA then, I should have just read through the whole post and I guess I could have answered my own question :thumbsup:

We're meeting at Minnehaha Falls for lunch and stuff around 11, then cruising down to the MOA after.

If there's enough interest we might be able to plan an excursion truip to Canterbury. Let's hear some opinions. :D
Still on the hunt for a TB! Going to look at an LTZ this week lol
