My friend Dave has been part of a group that splits season tickets for the Twins over the past several years (maybe 12?). The seats are right behind home plate, about ten rows up. I’ve been lucky enough to catch a few games with him every season. Last night was Dave’s last game for the season. It will probably be the last game that I go to this season too. Next season the Twins move to their new outdoor stadium that is being built across town. So, it was my last baseball game in the Metrodome. The Metrodome is a terrible place to watch baseball. It really is a football stadium that tolerates baseball games to be played. The Vikings will continue to play their games there.

The Gophers played their last game in the Dome last season. This Fall they play their games at a new outdoor stadium built on the U campus.

It will be great to have outdoor baseball again. I can’t wait.
