NEW BALLPARK COMING TO MINNESOTA CAUSING MUCH ANTICIPATION FOR THE 2010-2011 TWINS BASEBALL SEASON
Since the passing of the financial plan for the Minnesota Twin’s open-air stadium in 2006, Minnesotans everywhere have waiting in anticipation for a day that is fast approaching. On Monday, April 12th the Twins will play their first game in Target Field against the Boston Red Sox, a game that will launch the Twins into a potential Championship season.
In a field design that incorporates conservation, sustainability and energy efficiency, this environmentally friendly stadium seats 40,000 people. And while that number has dropped from the Dome’s 60,000-person capacity, the quality of Target Field’s seats are almost priceless.
Not only will the new stadium provide a refreshing new game-watching environment, but with new revenue being generated from the stadium, the Twins now have a much larger draft budget for the 2010-2011 season. Since November of 2009 the Twins have signed major contracts with players like Nick Blackburn, Jim Thome, JJ Hardy, and Joe Mauer. With the combination of these newly secured players, and the brand new ballpark set to open soon, Twins fans have been squirming in their seats as the day comes closer and closer.
Now the question remains, are Twins fans ready for freshly groomed grass, hot summer evenings and starry nights? I guess we’ll have to see, but chances are looking good.
