Metrodome and the New Twins Ballpark

Despite the event list being sparse for the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome over the next month, the Metrodome still manages to make the news. For example, the Minnesota Twins have a really interesting comparison of their new Twins Ballpark vs. the Metrodome. Some of my favorite facts include:

New Ballpark vs (Metrodome)
-Total Seating: 42,000 (56,000) *will create higher ticket demand*
-Home Plate to First Row Spectator: 50 feet (58 feet) *fans will be closer to the game*
-Seats with Obstructed Views: 0 (1,392)
-Main Concourse width: 44 feet (20 feet) *more room to buy stuff and still see the game*
-Total Restrooms: 34 (16) *shorter lines*

The Metrodome is really suited more for Vikings football than anything else, but it will be sad to see the Minnesota Twins move. The Twins have made many great memories at the Metrodome including two World Series Championships. This Twins season should be a fun season as fans prepare to say good-bye to the “Homerdome.”
