Two of the four area teams in the "Big Four" leagues -- the [[UsefulNotes/MLBTeams Twins]] and [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Vikings]] -- have all of their division rivals in the Midwest, and the area's [[UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague NHL]] team, the Wild, have two rivals in the Midwest, allowing these teams to develop intense divisional rivalries - indeed, both the NFC North and the NHL Central are referred to as "Black and Blue" divisions. Only the [[UsefulNotes/NationalBasketballAssociation Timberwolves]] do not have any Midwestern division rivals, though some fans probably want their team moved into the Central Division, which might happen based on where the NBA places its next expansion teams. Due to the proximity of the two cities, teams are not referred to the city their stadium is in. While the Twins, Timberwolves and Vikings play in Minneapolis and the Wild play in St. Paul, they're called the "Minnesota (sports team)".

Perhaps its most famous landmark is the Mall of America in the suburb of Bloomington, the second-largest indoor mall in the US and the most visited mall in the world. The mall's popularity is helped by only being a couple of miles away from Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport, and just a few stops away by light rail, so it is not at all uncommon for people to fly in just to go shopping. Major companies based in the area include industrial conglomerate [=3M=] ([[FunWithAcronyms their name is a shortened version of the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company]]), retailers Target (a spinoff of the now-defunct Minneapolis department store Dayton's) and Best Buy, [=UnitedHealthcare=], and UsefulNotes/GeneralMills, among others. Atlanta based Delta Airlines hosts a large hub at MSP airport and is along with Detroit, one of two in the Midwest. It is a fortress hub for Delta with over 70% of its traffic but ultra low cost Sun County Airlines also calls the airport home.

Despite the Twin Cities' reputation for dowdy Midwesternness, the area is actually quite diverse. It is home to the largest Hmong and Somali populations in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates (though you never seem to see them on TV). It's the 14th-largest US media market, has the second-highest number of theatre seats per capita of any metro area in the country, ranks eighth on the list of metropolitan areas with the largest percentage of LGBT residents (with Minneapolis itself fourth on the list of top cities), and has one of the five biggest concentrations of UsefulNotes/{{neopagan|ism}}s in the US (the others being UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco, UsefulNotes/NewOrleans, UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, and [[HollywoodNewEngland Salem, Massachusetts]]), earning it the nickname "Paganistan". But again, not something you'd hear every day.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul are the Twin Cities of UsefulNotes/{{Minnesota}}. Minneapolis (the most populous city in the state) is situated on the western bank of the Mississippi River, while Saint Paul (the state capital and its second-largest city) sits directly opposite on the east bank. Minneapolis is the county seat of Hennepin County, while Saint Paul is the seat of Ramsey County. This is mildly important for people who live there.

The two cities, and their surrounding suburbs, are collectively known as "The Cities" by inhabitants of Minnesota and neighboring states. They essentially function as one large metropolitan area, hence the name "Twin Cities". However, both cities have distinctive cultures and personalities. St. Paul is slightly smaller and viewed as very friendly, clean, blue-collar, and family-oriented. Minneapolis is younger and trendier, and contains more of the Cities' art scene. Despite the differences, the Cities do function as one metro area.
