The last piece of structural steel went into place at Target Field in Minnesota.
“We promised we’d build the best ballpark in America, and thanks to you, I think we’ve done that, Hennepin County Board Chairman Mike Opat told hundreds of stadium workers who had gathered for the event. “It’s not done yet, but we’re almost there.”
The Minnesota Twins’ new home is now more than 75 percent complete.
Workers signed the beam before it was hoisted into place atop the left-field roof canopy at Target Field.
I only attended one game there, but I’ll be happy to see baseball move out of the Metrodome. It was the most sterile baseball enviornment I’ve ever seen.

Still better than the Kingdome. Think “warehouse”

I went to one game at the metrodome, too. But I was tripping hard on mushrooms. Not a good trip.
