Earlier this month, an Arizona couple on their second date went viral at a Diamondbacks game.
An Arizona YouTuber, Connor Buckley, is roommates with Matthew Minnis. Minnis had a first date with Emma at a Valley restaurant. Then, Minnis scheduled a second date with Emma to attend a Diamondback’s game, and Buckley wanted to check in to see how it’s going. After a few tweets, millions of people on the Internet got an answer.
Buckley had been scouring the stands to try to find Minnis in the crowd. He couldn’t find him, so he Facetimed his friend to see exactly where he was at in the stands. Once he had the location, he asked the Diamondbacks to zoom out so he could see his friend. The message got passed along, and then Minnis and Emma were on the big screen.
But the question on everyone’s mind: is there gonna be a third date?? https://t.co/9O4SrYMPWo pic.twitter.com/7HNPqRQzva

Buckley’s tweets went viral, and footage and photos of the couple were splashed all over the Internet. They got mentioned on SportsCenter and Sports Illustrated. They quickly became the talk of the game (which the Diamondbacks lost, by the way).
On Wednesday, Matt and Emma reappeared at the Arizona Coyotes game. The team Twitter posted a picture of the two on their third date. Unfortunately, that’s the end. The Arizona couple has ended their romance and there won’t be anymore viral sports dates in the near future for Minnis and Emma.
Can confirm there was a third date. ❤️
Hey @Suns, wanna make sure there’s a fourth? https://t.co/hrBImLnOf4 pic.twitter.com/WXi2HHGR9o
