I love Goldy's Locker Room. It offers branded University of Minnesota merchandise, from licence plate covers to hoodies. I used to hang out in this area often well over a decade ago. There used to be a music-record-CD store called Cheapo steps away. I got a lot of cool used CDs here and could spend hours at the store. I'd then drop by Goldy's to browse. A few weeks ago, I returned to Dinkytown. Cheapo has been gone for years, but Goldy's still endures. Goldy is the mascot of the University of Minnesota. Although I never attended U of M, I do know more about it than I should! I have a Goldy plushie that I bought from this store and love it. My friend bought a hoodie here and can't stop wearing it! He got his graduate degrees from U of M. Prices are decent. Discounted merchandise is at the back of the store. It's a fairly deep store, so take your time browsing. There's a lot to look at! It was nice dropping by this store and seeing that it's still going on strong after all these years. (478) read more

Goldy's Locker Room - Side of the store - Sports Wear Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

"All the men's shorts are over there..." The older guy employee gestures, in a vague fashion, to one part of the store. I walked in on a Sunday. The place was as devoid of customers as it appears is normal for them. I walk up to the employee and point at my shorts, Gopher shorts bought at another Goldy's Locker room a month before, and ask if they have these. I would assume a bit more service would be in order given neither employee was doing anything. AKA. I did not see the man working on some sort of machine learning solution for curing cancer or a time-machine or anything. read more

Even though I thoroughly enjoyed my time as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, my graduate school experience enriched my life gave me a reason to cheer for the maroon and gold, too! Sadly, aside from a fitted cap bought at Lids, I did have any other Gopher gear. The store, as one would expect, is filled with every t-shirt, hoodie, and beanie imaginable. Attend the U's Medical School? Got ya. Want to show your support for men's hockey? Duh! Need to deck your toddler out in a gold uni? You betcha! I decided to purchase a light gold sweatshirt (which I prefer instead of the mustard shade) and a traditional colored beanie w/ beanie. In fact, I'm rocking them right now as write this review. Both items are comfy as can be; however, they literally come at a price that falls on the higher side of things. I mean, $55+ for a sweatshirt is a bit steep! $20 for a beanie ain't so bad, I guess. At least the young woman holding it down at the cashier gave me a ten percent student discount, even though I'm not one. ;) It's also a bit disappointing that there aren't higher quality t-shirts made from softer and more durable fabric. In other words, Gildan can go to hell. Their crap sucks. SKI-U-MAH! (Whatever that means. I looked it up, and I still don't get it.) read more
