 | | An old joke goes, "There are two seasons in Minnesota--winter and July." During the latter, 'Sotans enjoy some of the finest skate paths in North America, which is fitting since this is where Rollerblade rolled out the first inline skates back in 1984. |
 | | Another Rollerblade innovation was to bring inline skating to the buttery smooth concrete concourses of Minneapolis's Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, whose inflatable ceiling, in addition to protecting the Vikings, Twins, and Gophers, has sheltered 500,000 inline skaters from the elements since 1990. |
 | | From November through April, the upper and lower concourses of the Metrodome become the Rollerblade Rollerdome, annually hosting upwards of 50,000 inline skaters who come to relax, exercise, train, socialize, or just watch others turn endless effortless laps on the roughly half-mile smooth concrete loop. |
