Are the Vikings and Gophers also trying to get new stadiums? And how would the Vikings be compensated? For those of you who don't know, the Vikings get all the profits the Twins make off parking and concessions.
This is good. The Metrodome shouldn't be a baseball stadium. Although, they would still need the state to pass the stadium bill. The plans for the new stadium look awesome. http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...lpark/index.jspBoth the Gophers & Vikings are also trying to get new stadiums built. The Vikings have secured land in Anoka County. The Gophers are trying to get an on-campus stadium...
Hopefully this gives the Twins some more green to compete with the Sux and Indians. More fans, and they'd get to keep the money they make from parking and concessions

I heard the Vikes were trying to get a stadium with a retractable roof. And the Gophers would play in it with the roof open, and the Vikes would play in it with it closed.
<span style="color:#993399"> The Gophers on-campus stadium is virtually a slam dunk. The Twins and Vikings are a different story, although they will both probably happen at the proverbial 11th hour.</span>
