The Metrodome Minneapolis hosted over 30,000 people at the 2008 Twins Fest. There were over 30 Minnesota Twins Players in attendance and the event was a great opportunity for Minnesota Baseball fans to get autographs and hang out on the Metrodome field.
I am sure many Minnesota Twins fan is wondering what will happen to TwinsFest when the Twins open the new stadium 2010. It will be difficult to hold a fan festival in January in an open air stadium – brrrr! Do you suppose the Twins will still hold it at the HHH Metrodome? Will the Metrodome welcome them back with open arms? I am sure that is something both the Twins and Metrodome managers will have to mull over in the years to come.

Metrodome – Metrodome food!
Here’s a quick rundown of food choice at our beloved Metrodome (for Minnesota Twins games):
Best deal: $2.75 cup of fries. These are typical thick greasy “state fair” style fries, but at $2.75, they are probably the best thing you can get for your money (no guarantees they will still be that price for the 2008 Twins season).
Best item at the ice cream concession: Grand Slam Sundae all the way. The helmet sundae is boring and the root beer float is ok but it’s not Grand Slam-tastic!
Best hot dog: Dome Dog is still the champ. The dollar dogs are cheap but they just don’t compare to the thick juiciness of a Dome Dog.
Worst concession: The Dippin’ Dots knockoff packaged ice cream. Do not spend the six dollars or whatever it is on these terrible “treats.” The “dots” come out as one frozen block and they don’t have the soft yogurt texture of the original Dots.
Well there you go Minnesota Twins fans and Metrodome frequenters. Enjoy your Metrodome tickets and be vigilant with your concession choices.

Metrodome a better home for Vikings than the Gophers or Twins
With Minnesota Vikings new stadium talks stalling, it appears that the Metrodome Minneapolis will live!
Yes, many Vikings fans want to see the destruction of the HHH Metrodome and a new retractable roof behemoth erected in its place, but the Metrodome has housed so many great memories, maybe it would be better if it was left for the Minnesota Vikings to play in for the next decade or so. The Gopher football team is gone in 2009 and for good reason because they belong on campus. The Minnesota Twins are leaving for the other side of downtown Minneapolis, and I believe that is justified too because baseball should be outside. But out of those three teams, the Vikings belong the most in the Metrodome.
The Metrodome houses plenty of seating and ticket sales for Vikings games and it is a great place for the speedy Adrian Peterson to run wild, as he did against the San Diego Chargers when he broke the single game rushing record. Minnesota needs to build a new 35W bridge and the Central Corridor light rail before tearing down a perfectly functional (for the Vikings) Metrodome.

Minnesota Twins Tickets
I recently took a look at the upcoming Minnesota Twins Schedule and one game stood out as a "must see" game. The Minnesota Twins open their home schedule with a game on 3/31/2008 versus Torii Hunter and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I am a big fan of home openers but couple the fact that it is a home opener with the return of Hunter and there is absolutely no shot that I will miss this game. In fact, I may actually splurge buy some fancy Twins Tickets for this game. I am very interested to see what type of reception Torii Hunter receives after his departure to the Angels. I am also excited to check out the new Minnesota Twins and what they can do. GO TWINS!!!
