Who is going to miss the Dome?

Will anyone actually miss the Minneapolis Metrodome?  The Metrodome roof is the first thing many people won't miss. It's a difficult thing to have to deal with, especially knowing that it can become an issue during games. Most stadiums have the sun to deal with, but that dome causes its own special brand of problems. The ball is the same color as the roof, which obviously causes a lot of errors when playing.

Another issue with playing inside a building is the old air. Many players have sinus issues and get sick from perhaps the mold, bacteria or something else.

Leave me a comment on this blog.... Will you miss the Dome?

Gopher Football Ends Metrodome Era

The University of Minnesota Golden Gopher football team ended their Metrodome era last Saturday November 22nd with a season finale loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes. I think most Gopher fans are happy to put the Metrodome years behind them and are looking forward to a new season on campus at the brand new TCF Bank Stadium. Farewell, Gophers. The Metrodome and the surrounding businesses will miss you and your revenue.

Many Gopher memories have been made under that white Teflon roof.

Good Luck Gophers at TCF Bank Stadium!

More Football at Metrodome

'Tis the season for the Metrodome to be booming with football fans and activities. Last weekend was a Gopher Vikings double header (can you call it a double header even if it doesn’t occur on the same day? It was the same weekend.) This weekend both the Golden Gopher football team and the NFL Minnesota Vikings are on the road leaving the Metrodome Minneapolis available for the Minnesota State High School Football playoffs.

One of the people I work with is a huge High School sports fan and I know she is planning on heading over to the Dome this weekend to see as she puts it “the states best football players running around on the turf.” She also points out a that the Metrodome tickets are cheap and the football action will be intense. If you want to see the schedule of who’s playing, you can check out the Minnesota State High School League site for the Football Brackets. Enjoy the Football at the Dome while you can . . . the Metrodome days could be numbered.
