Rollerskating at the Metrodome
Oh boy, I had completely forgotten about Roller Dome at the Metrodome. My grandparents used to bring me to go skate there when I was little.
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. Park your car in the free lot adjacent to Gate D and enter the revolving doors. (Because trapped air is what keeps the Dome domey, trying to use a conventional door will expel you quicker than a sneeze.) Admission is $6.50 for adults, $5.50 for students, and $4.50 for kids. Optional skate rentals cost an additional $5.00 per pair of well-maintained and up-to-date Rollerblade inline skates.
With up to 1,000 skaters at one time! Anybody been lately?

That sounds like something I’d like to try. I would probably be more of a hazard than an effortless lapper, though.
