4. Oh great - an open air stadium
Didn't the sleet outs in Detroit this weekend teach them anything? I can't imagine what April games will be like (no doubt there will be much wailing about attendance) and, if the Twins ever make the World Series again, wouldn't October night games be delightful?

You'd think they could get some corporate sponsorship for the extra $100 million the roof (retractable, I hope) would cost. If they're going to build a new stadium, I wish they'd do it right this time. Otherwise, the Twins will be in it a few years and then start whining that they need a new stadium with a roof on it.

In the meantime, I'll be planning my trips to Target to coincide with my other trips to Burnsville (Dakota County) to avoid paying taxes for a stadium.
