Just was in a friendly argument at work over which stadium will be better. Obviously I sided on TCF. your thoughts?
Mozart or Beethoven
Joyce or Faulkner
Monet or Matisse
Theron or Mendes
A week in the Caribbean or a week in the South Pacific
A perfectly done steak or lobster thermidor
A perfect day of fishing or a perfect autumn day hunting ringnecks
TCF is better for its client. The Twins are going to run into some rain delay issues I think, while TCF will encounter good weather during the majority of its season.
How about asking this again in 30 years, when the Twins are demanding another new stadium?
please. get over yourself.....

Maybe they will demand to move the Garbage facility.word on the street is the HERC facility could be out of there and relocated within 4 years if everyone plays their cards right politically.

The Twins had very few rainouts in Bloomington. Have weather patterns changed much?
exactly! the desire for an ugly retractable roof by some (mostly out-state mn or out of state fans who are not even paying for it by the way) is a bit absurd to me.
Lets see Target Field seems to have taken Frank Llyod Wright approach to the right field entrance but those on the left field line will experience Garbage Burner and the Garbage waiting to be burned. Those seats in the left field corner should sell for a discount if you can stand the stench on a hot summer day or evening. The site, not far from the bus depot, Hennepin Avenue, and steet crime. To the north up 94 and Washington Avenue is prime gang territory. Add to that Minneapolis is trending toward becoming filthy city. Good Luck Twins Fans.
TCF is on Campus, its uses the Misssippi River as a moat from that which is west and south of it. It has tree line streets, historic buildings, and has Dinkytown. The design encompasses the best of the old school, with all the modern ammenities. Given a choice, the choice is clear. TCF Bank.
Also, anyone that says that Target Field should have a roof because of all the fans from North Dakota that won't come because of rain outs is a joke. I would love to see the number of Twins fans from outside the 7 county metro area that buy Twins season tickets. You build the stadium for season ticket/suite/club level ticket holders, not uncle bill who wants to drive to the 'cities' for a weekend of fun at the Mall of America.

In regards to the second part of your post.....if Hennepin County didnt step up to the plate there would be no stadium getting built for the Twins.
Basically what you are saying is that Hennepin County should fork out an additional 200 million so YOU can attend Twins games. And I am the one being self absorbant?
Have you ever been to a baseball stadium with a retractable roof? None of them existing has ever been mentioned as a great baseball stadium. The loom so large over the field that the intimacy of the stadium is all but eliminated.
Milwaukee is the only stadium near us that has a retractable roof. So why are we any different from Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Colorado?
