As the 2010 MLB season approaches, the fans of Minnesota get more anxious by the second. Everyone is dying to head out to the new Target Field to catch a few games, which will now be played outside. Some believe it will be a complete 180 degree turn from the Metrodome, which is the Twin's previous indoor stadium. But, there are more changes made to the new stadium other than a complete different look. There will be 4 different hot dogs being sold at the new stadium. They are called the Original Twins Dog, Twins Big Dog, Dugout Dog, and the Dinger Dog. The Original Twins Dog were the same ones that were previously sold at the Metropolitan Stadium, where they played before the Metrodome.
When I asked Joe Gramstad if he agreed with building the new stadium, he said "Yes, because the dome is not very good for baseball, and the new stadium could attract attention for an all-star game and boost the economy". He also believes it could be good for the Twins chance of winning a title, he stated "the new stadium could attract more free agents to the organization". More free agents looking at the Twins as a possible team gives us more talent, and a better chance to win the World Series.
The new stadium should be much more comfortable for the fans watching the games. Each seat has more leg room and wider seats for the fans to enjoy the game more. It has 18,500 infield seats, which will feature some of the closest seating to the playing field in all the league. The stadium will have more rows with less seats in each row for the comfort of the fans. One the field much of the fencing in the outfield is near the same distance as the Metrodome. Center field measures 411 feet, which is a slight increase from the 408 feet at the Dome. There is a slight decrease down both the left and right field lines, but only a few feet difference from the old stadium.
