For Minnesota sports fans, the timing couldn’t be worse for Bally Sports North to go black. The Twins are on a winning streak, and the Wolves are in the playoffs. Some fans feel that the lack of coverage is a major disappointment, with many calling it a punch in the face rather than a slap.
Isaiah Smith, a lifelong Timberwolves fan, is among those who are upset about not being able to watch their favorite teams on Bally Sports North. He expressed his frustration with the situation, saying that it is compromising thousands of households that rely on the network to watch games that aren’t televised on major platforms.
The Twins organization released a statement expressing their disappointment with the situation, stating that it is a business negotiation between Comcast and Bally’s and that they have no control over the matter. Fans like Logan and Shauna, who enjoy watching sports from the comfort of their own homes, are now left without options and are left scrambling to find ways to watch both the Twins and Wolves games.
Smith mentioned that fans are now finding ways to watch games at local bars or at friends’ homes that have different cable providers. The lack of access to Bally Sports North has left many fans feeling frustrated and disappointed, especially during a crucial time when both teams are performing well.
