一天內	Brock Vestrum brock_thisway_travels	For Minnesota teams, the naming actually originates from the Minneapolis Lakers leaving MN. They had poor attendence and the perception was they alienated fans from St. Paul, elsewhere. So when the Washington Senators came to Minnesota and were the only pro team in 1961, the owner made sure to be inclusive to gain more fans. The Vikings followed suit later that year and every team since.
