Bypassing the Dome

It's a whole new baseball world in downtown Minneapolis!





For the first time in nearly 30 years the Twins have a real, honest-to-goodness Baseball Stadium!




And what a Stadium it is.

Inside and Out!









It even has real concourses where you can still see the game going on. What a concept.











Yesterday was an Open House on a cool spring afternoon with the sun making for a perfect day. Yes, I know there's no roof. Yes, it can snow in Minneapolis in April and October. Yes, it is smaller than the Dome (seating-wise.) But it is for baseball. The seats face toward the pitcher's mound. Outdoors. But it is a perfect, cozy field tucked into downtown Minneapolis. It is a true gem!!!

(More pictures to come as we near The Day- April 12. No, I don't have tickets for that game, but I will be there for a game sometime soon.)


Oh and just as important: Joe Mauer signed an 8-year contract!!!!! Yesterday was a good day.
