That isn't entirely accurate.  Duluth and Morris are part of the University of Minnesota System.  Mankato, Bemidji, etc. are part of the Minnesota State System. 

So you wouldn't refer to the Duluth campus as "Minnesota State Duluth" (and I have never heard it referred to that way)...it would be "Minnesota-Duluth." 

The State campuses have different ways they refer to themselves...Winona State...Minnesota State University, Mankato...Southwest Minnesota State...up to the campus apparently.

Minnesota State generally refers to Minnesota State - Mankato, which is part of the Minnesota State system (separate from the University of Minnestoa system) and until 1999 was referred to as Mankato State.  In 2000, Moorhead State University began calling itself Minnesota State - Moorhead.  Interestingly, while the show "Coach" was running, "Minnesota State" was completely fictional but modeled after the University of Minnesota, which never gave its support for being the setting for the show.  Once the sitcom no longer aired, Mankato State took the name.  It also happens to have the same purple and gold colors as the fictional team (which of course also matches the Vikings colors and is slightly off the Gophers' colors), although the mascot is different.

I went and looked. According to the box scores, for the last two exhibitions that MU played (St. John's (MN) in 2009-10 and MSOE in 2010-11), Marquette lists attendance in the box score as over 13,500 for both games.

So you win, sir.

Although that may be paid attendance and therefore counts all of the season ticket holders, regardless of whether or not they showed up.

Attendance numbers in any sports, is paid.

Is there really such a school?

Jarvis Williams from Milwaukee, who started playing at Green Bay transfered to Minn State.

College hockey fans quickly learn the Minnesota state schools that are otherwise unknown outside of the state.

Wasn't trying to slight any Milwaukee companies, I've worked for four of those on your list already, been in boxes at Miller/Bradley for two of them as well as Baird and Northwestern Mutual.  I was just curious who would have a box at the UC because I figured it would be in addition to a box at both the Miller and the BC. 

Could be a private company or a recent acquisition such as Rexnord, Caterpillar, Poto etc. as well.
