Star Tribune: Summer X Games canceled, costing Minneapolis another major event
By Marcus Fuller
The X Games’ success in Minneapolis for three summers had been building toward a memorable finale this year, but the competition was officially canceled Friday due to coronavirus concerns.
The Summer X Games were scheduled for July 17-19 at U.S. Bank Stadium after drawing more than 100,000 fans per year to Minneapolis. But X Games officials cited the safety of the athletes, staff and spectators during the global pandemic.
