Just read on Bobby Wade's twitter account that the Twins are contemplating playing certain, select series in the current H.H. Humphrey Metrodome in 2010 and beyond. As the facility will still be open and in use for Vikings football, WWE events and Monster truck pulls.

bet the sox's series will be part of that game plan.....

Thank you,and have a nice day !

mutherfucker's! I knew that place wouldn't die. I'm sure it will only include games in April, October and any time the Sox come to town.

Unless it's a "whites only" game at the Humpdome, I fail to see how they can credibly market it as a "throwback" game.

They should play in the Dome when it's snowing in April.

Sox prejudice aside, that's really not a bad idea. Play the first 6 weeks in the dome and if they the playoffs, move that to the dome as well. Can't imagine late October (early November) baseball, outdoors in Minnesota! Although spending whatever they did on that new stadium and not using it full time, plus the revenue they stand to lose, I know it will never happen.

I believe the stadium will be like the brewers open air dome.

Target Field will be complete open air, no dome... From their website:

CLIMATE/SHELTER: The Twins are committed to providing a comfortable experience for the fans — even when our weather is less than perfect. Fans will be able to take advantage of heated concessions, restrooms, and restaurant and lounge areas found on each ballpark level including the Terrace level. Target Field's roof canopy — one of the largest in baseball — will provide added protection.

Man, if the Sox have to play in the Dome again, Hawk will lose what's left of his fucking mind.

Haven't heard anything about this, the the field and seats are going to be heated at Target Field though.. its will be cold up there but its not all that much worse then down here... Its only 5 to 6 hours away

The down side is?
