If you remember Marshall from the TV series “How I Met Your Mother,” you probably know what Minnesota is all about. It features extreme weather conditions with events such as blizzards, hailstorms, and tornadoes. However, the citizens moving out cited job opportunities as the top reason.
Besides all that, it rates pretty well in terms of outdoor recreation. In fact, over 36% of its residents fish, and this statistic is second only to Alaska. The state also features water skiing and has a renowned football team, the Minnesota Vikings. In May 2022, the state House voted to legalize sports betting.
