A Mighty Ducks tour in mighty Minneapolis
Before Super Bowl, two Mighty Ducks super fans rollerblade around Minneapolis.
— -- The last time Minnesota hosted the Super Bowl was in 1992, the same year Disney's "The Mighty Ducks" premiered in theaters.
Now, 26 years later, the North Star State is hosting Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles squaring off against the New England Patriots this evening.
A favorite of many kids who grew up in the 1990s, parts of "The Mighty Ducks" trilogy were filmed in the Minneapolis area. Using rollerblades from Skatesville of Burnsville, Minnesota, as our primary mode of transportation, ABC News explored some of the activities going on in the city with a wink and a nod to the movies that told audiences, "ducks fly together."

Before we started our journey we had to lace up our rollerblades, and did so in front of the site of Super Bowl LII, U.S. Bank Stadium. Nicknamed "The Ship," U.S. Bank Stadium opened in 2016 and cost more than $1 billion to make. In fitting with the forecast for Super Bowl weekend, the stadium was designed specifically to withstand heavy snow.
