It was 65 and perfect yesterday but rainy, windy, and 40's today...damn global warming!! It's just a crappy spring that's all. Target field is great. The big inflatable toilet we call the metrodome is a joke!

Always the difficult thing about this time of the year. Nothing worse then having a wager down that doesnt get played.

way to build the new field without a roof..

forecast for this evening:

Tonight
Breezy. Rain and snow in the evening...then rain and snow likely after midnight. Snow accumulation less than 1 inch. Lows around 35. North winds 15 to 25 mph.

It probably won't get played tonight, but the Twins and the people of Minnesota did nothing wrong by building this stadium without a roof. The difference between the weather in the Twin Cities and Chicago/Cleveland/NY/Boston/Philly is negligible. In fact, it probably rains more on the coast than in the Midwest.

Maybe it's just me, and I'm certainly biased as a Minnesotan and a Twins fan, but I think a retractable roof on a stadium totally ruins it aesthetically. I can deal with a rain-out or two (if I remember right there was only one in its inaugural season) if it means we have one of the nicest/nicest looking stadiums in the country, which it is. Plus as a taxpayer, not paying the extra hundreds of millions of dollars is pretty nice, too.

I was at Target field on sunday 65 and sunny, nicest day of the year so far, had seats 4 rows behind home plate, section 115 I think....Target field is awesome....going back for the twins/rays afternoon game on thursday.

I agree..I was only joking. Target field is awesome been there countless times already and lived in Minnesota all my life.
