Oh and Target getting the rights made for a good joke. Why do I have a feeling the Twins will take advantage of their slogan which is "get more pay less"

So they move from the "big inflatable toilet" to "the discount centre II" (Target Center they call the big discount centre).

Unfortunately, that's the way it is today. Everything corporate. It's like that everywhere. The days of the Mom and Pop store or operation is over. Mom and Pop moved to Florida, I guess and now big business is taking over. Don't feel bad though. At least your stadium isn't called "Citi Field" especially now.

No offense, But i will remember it is a bid dump. watched BB and FB there and enjoyed neither.
They should play outside in MN. I say good riddance.

I'll remember the struggles of the Brewers, Packers, and the Wisconsin football team there. For years it didn't seem like any of them could win in the stupid Twinkie-Dome. Never attended a game there. From the sound of it, not missing much. Baseball indoors doesn't have to be bad. Miller Park is a nice place to see a game. I think somebody mentioned it before about the Metrodome, the good thing is you can make plans to see a game and know it will be played. Important if it's a 3 hour drive. Fans from outside the Twin Cities area might miss that.

The only stadium where the color and texture of the artificial turf truly did remind me of a worn billiard table. I pitied the knees of everyone who played there.

I for one will not miss the "Big inflatable toilet". That place is the worst place to see baseball. I was fortunate to see Metropolitan Stadium in 1980 during Brett's push to .400. I can't wait to go to the Target Field. I especially will be looking forward to taking my son to a game outdoors where it belongs. He is only 3 months old so he will never see that dump on then TV this year.

My memories consist of what many others have said 1991 game 6 and 7. Hard to pass on 1987 game 7.
