I go to the Metrodome a little more frequently, but I'm not crazy about that place, either. Baseball on plastic grass under a teflon sky... yuck. Yesterday they poured the first concrete for the new Twins stadium, an open-air ballpark that will open in 2010. Can't wait!

As cold as it gets in Minnesota I wonder if the Vikings are going to stay at that dome .
