We're Already Looking Forward To 2010 And Target Field

July 1, 2009 at 8:47 AM | by kjb | 0 Comments

The Major League Baseball season is almost half over, and fans are already flocking to St. Louis to take in this year’s All-Star Game at Busch Stadium. Since we’ll be following the pennant races before long, we thought it was only natural to start looking forward to the 2010 season. That’s because outdoor baseball will return to Minnesota for the first time since 1981, as the Metrodome closes and Target Field opens.

Last month, the final beam was put in place on the Minnesota Twins’ new home, and the project is on schedule and under budget. Now if it can stay that way, we’ll be in cheap seats in the Budweiser Roof Deck in no time.

We aren't the only ones excited; Longtime Minnesota Twin Kent Hrbek shared some of his initial impression of the new stadium during a recent visit:

"I went to see it about a month ago. When I stepped on the field I got chills on my spine. It almost made me want to get the (uniform) off the wall and play again."

That’s nice and all, but we were more impressed when Hrbek shared the uh, scoop, on the park's dessert offerings. He said that if there were only a couple places to get ice cream at the old stadium, they’ll be like 19 at the new place. That’s what we’re talking about; who doesn’t love ice cream in mini baseball helmets?
