Vikings Metrodome Future

There are still so many questions surrounding the future of the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome. The Gophers are gone after this season, the Twins in two seasons and that just leaves the stadium starved Minnesota Vikings to hold down the white teflon roof. Well, I read in the Tribune recently that “the developer who granted an option to the Minnesota Vikings and the Metrodome's owner for a block next door to the stadium has asked to extend that option deadline to 2012.”

Hmmm….Perhaps a new stadium on the site of the Metrodome is closer than we think. I am sure public funding will be a long battle, but if you know the Metrodome History, then you know that it was a battle as well. Be sure to visit the Dome soon and take plenty of pictures because the stadiums days are definitely numbered.

Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome

The HHH Metrodome is all about Minnesota Twins baseball! The Minnesota Twins are 2/3 of the way finished with a nine game home stand. For everyone that hates fractions, that means there are three games left before the team hits the road for a week and then a week break for the All-Star game. So if you want to be a part of Twins fever, buy your Minnesota Twins tickets today. Nothing is more American than celebrating Independence Day at the baseball diamond and with the Cleveland Indians in town you are guaranteed a great game.

As if you needed another reason to visit the HHH Metrodome this weekend, the Metrodome is running several fan promotions including a free giveaway every day. On July 4th, the first 5,000 kids will get a free Team Replica Autograph Bat (I think a red white and blue something would be more appropriate, but I don’t get to vote) and on Saturday, the first 5,000 fans will receive a Twins Territory Flag (a day late on the flag thing, but it’s free I shouldn’t complain). On Sunday the first 5,000 fans will receive a New Ballpark Hard Hat. How cool is that? Just another great reason to head out to the Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome this weekend. Go Twins!

Need Twins tickets? Local ticket broker Ticket King has an office less than two blocks from the Metrodome that is open two hours before game time to purchase and pick-up tickets. They often have cheap Twins tickets so check there first!
