Is there a reason that we don't layover in downtown MSP anyway?

Heyas Scoop,
Actually, there is, and its probably a 10 minute walk through the Skyway (you don't need to go outside) to find it. I'm trying to remeber the name of the building, but it's the one with Cray Computers located in it. From the hotel, sort of walk around the Skyway counter clockwise, and that's how I bumped into it.
Just follow the Skyway from the hotel until you come to that building. The Y is located on the Skyway level, behind the Cray offices.
Downtown Minne is probably another 15-20 minutes from the airport, at least, more in traffic. There's not much there that you can't find in STP.
