the year is 2010
at 26 years of age, i will finally be able to attend a outdoor twins game in minneapolis. i have been loyal to the twins, attending countless games at the worst baseball venue in professional baseball, with exception to the skydome in toronto. i never truly knew how much i was missing until attending the twins game in milwaukee on friday. the metrodome has 1,392 seats with an obstructed view, the new stadium will be built solely for baseball so there will be 0 seats with obstucted view. all of the seats will be angled to watch the baseball game, not the 50 yard line. there will be real grass, and the sun can shine in. thank you minnesota legislators. today is a great day for outdoor sporting events. let me know when tickets go on sale, so i can save my seat for the 2010 home opener.
