Schwanns soccer tourney in Blaine in July

We have 14 families coming for the tourney. Any suggestions for eating, evenings after games. Anyone who has attended the tourney for the week have any advice? What to bring, what to expect? Most of us are staying in hotels.



Schwanns soccer tourney in Blaine in July


As someone who has coached in that tournament and played (back in %26#39;89!!), I can tell you to bring sunblock and willingness to stay hydrated. For some reason, the tourney always falls on the hottest weekend of the summer. We%26#39;re talking 100 degrees and up. Lots of outstate and international teams come thinking it%26#39;s Minnesota -- how hot can it get?





Well, not just high temperatures but brutal humidity usually up here.





El Loro is a good Mexican place not too far. Otherwise, not too much that I like near the NSC.





El Loro is in the next twon over, called Coon Rapids. Off Highway 10.





In Blaine, there is Figaro%26#39;s, a pizza place.





In Coon Rapids, there is Sammy%26#39;s Pizza. Gotta get those carbs, right?
