Tonight is the Twins’ home opener and I got tickets to the game! WooHoo!!!!!!!!
It is a memorable game tonight - this will be the Twins' final season at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
The team has played in the dome for 27 years and has provided a lot of great memories for millions of Twins' fans.
We still have a year until the new open-air stadium will be the home for the Twins, but there has been a lot of nostalgia about the HHH Metrodome dome lately.
It hosted two remarkable World Series wins for the Twins, a major-league All-Star game, Super Bowl XXVI, and two NCAA Final Four men's basketball championships.
It may be among the most maligned stadiums of all time, but the Metrodome also has one of the most illustrious histories.
Of course, we can’t forget the nicknames: the Teflon Marshmallow, the Hump, Big Inflatable Toilet, the Dump, old Humpty dome.....etc.
And in the 27 years of its existence, it has only collapsed three times!
Hopefully this will be a memory that my boys will be talking about in the years to come.............
Luckyyyyyy...
