Minnesota sports fans are struggling to cope with the loss of Bally Sports North coverage during a crucial period for their local teams. With the Twins on a winning streak and the Wolves in the playoffs, fans feel that they’re missing out on important games. One fan, Isaiah Smith, described the situation as a major blow rather than a slap.
Smith, a lifelong Timberwolves fan, is just one of many fans who have expressed their disappointment. The blackout of Bally Sports North on Xfinity has left thousands of households without access to their favorite teams’ games. Many fans like Smith relied on the network to watch games not televised on major platforms like ESPN and TNT.
The Twins organization released a statement expressing their frustration with the situation, emphasizing that they have no role or voice in the negotiations between Comcast and Bally’s. Fans like Logan and Shauna, who can’t afford tickets to games, are now left without a way to watch their teams in the comfort of their own homes.
As a result, fans are scrambling to find alternatives to watch the Twins and Wolves games, such as going to local bars or friends’ houses with different cable providers. The loss of Bally Sports North coverage has significantly impacted the viewing experience for Minnesota sports fans, who are struggling to find a solution during this critical time for their beloved teams.
