Metrodome and Light Rail

One of my favorite things about the Twin Cities Light Rail system is it drops you off right in front of the Metrodome. It is so easy to park and ride and for people that hate downtown Minneapolis traffic, it is the best way to travel to and from Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Gopher Football games. The train does get crowded and you may have to stand, but the trip is short and it is often cheaper than parking downtown and with gas at $4 a gallon, it’s a bargain you can’t pass up. For more information about the Hiawatha Line and Twin Cities Light Rail, check out the Metro Transit website. If you have never rode the train before, make plans to ride it next time you head to the Metrodome, it is so easy!

Metrodome Jumbotron Messages

It’s always fun to see your own personal message on the Metrodome Jumbotron and requesting your own message for the Metrodome scoreboard is actually easy and fairly inexpensive. Scoreboard messages can be anything from a special birthday or anniversary message to a marriage proposal or a simple message to your favorite team or players. Requests for scoreboard messages during Vikings games should be made through Vikings Marketing at 952-828-6504. For messages during Minnesota Twins games call 612-375-7514 and for Metrodome scoreboard messages during Gopher Football games contact Deb Diamond at 612-625-4582. Perhaps we should wish the Gopher Football team a successful farewell season!

Metrodome gets a lot of use

Being the home of the Minnesota Twins, Golden Gopher Football Team and the Minnesota Vikings it is not unreasonable to think that the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome is a busy stadium and it’s true. There is something happening nearly every day at the Metrodome, the Dome is used about 300 days every year, but interestingly enough, of those 300 event days, fewer than 100 feature professional or major college sports. How about that for a Metrodome Fun Fact?!
