Fireworks?

[zamboni]

Having lived in Kansas City for several years, and going to around 100 Royals games at the "K", friday night was fireworks night. At the end of the games on fridays, the stadium lights would get shut off, and fans were given a decent fireworks show. It was by far the best night to go to games. I know the "K" is outside of the downtown area, and Target Field is right downtown, but I was wondering if the Twins were going to do something similar. It was a blast.

On a sidenote, every time a Royals player would hit a HR they set fireworks off, but lets be honest, it didn't happen very often.

Just the coolest Park Z so far`ahead of it's time when they built it!

Not sure if we'll have Fire works on a regular basis but hopefully so Friday for the first night game!

Yea, pretty much every outdoor ballpark I've been too has fireworks for homeruns and every Fri or Sat or at least every once in a while. Anything's got to be better that that hokie old milk bottle that used to light up at the dome. Looking forward to Monday!!!

They lit off fireworks for the Vikings, when they scored, why couldnt they have done that for the Twins when they were in the Dome?

I agree, Kauffman is beautiful. Very fan friendly and the renovations they have done have all been tasteful

[bassNspear]

need to put this on my list to go and see!

We've been to 12 or 13 Major League parks and the "K" 5 or 6 times. It is one of our favorites. We have not been there since the renovation and are certainly looking forward to it.

If you go, plan on hitting Jack Stack for BBQ, and look for a bar with some good blues music after the game. Wouldn't be KC without it.

Jack Stacks my second favorite joint there, behind the original Oklahoma Joes. Jack Stacks HSOforum has recipes on it, make some of the cheesy corn sometime, its AWESOME!!

[bassNspear]

thanks all for the heads up and ideas on the joints!

[DonBo]

Yeah, Ill have to check out Oklahoma Joes.

And YES! Fireworks (at least to start the season and for homeruns) at Target Field.

Thinking they need to start playing three stooges music anytime a ball is hit Youngs way. How did he not get an error on that play?

MAYBE someone else would have caught that ball, but it was a sharply hit line shot off the wall that most would have had a hard time fielding. I'm not a huge Delmon guy, but IMO that was a base hit all the way.

they were saying on tv how the warning track is much larger than at the dome and most other fields. it kinda looked like delmon didn't know how close he was to the fence. and there seems to be a swirling wind pushing towards the left field foul pole... still wasn't a pretty attempt at catching it though.
