99.9 percent of the time it is a good day for baseball outside.

I expect around as many weather related cancellations as we would have had last year if the Twins had played outside!

And that is ZERO we would had no weather related cancelations based on last years weather.

Go Twins!

Tried to find a scalper to sell me a ticket today for less than $200 bucks. I didnt have any luck at that. But it was a great day for Minnesota baseball, and Target Field is a great fit (and addition) to Minneapolis.

I cant wait for many more years of baseball to be played here. I look forward to the Joe Mauer Jersey Retirement Ceremony.

I was in the bleacher seats yesterday. Been there a couple times already-open house and the first exhibition game, but man, what an awesome new park we've got. Everyone was wide eyed and grinning gawking around at the beautiful new digs. Fly over-fireworks-sunshine, all great things you'd never see at the dome.

The only real problem I had? I believed the weatherman and had a backpack full of jackets and raingear and umbrellas, when all I needed was sunscreen!

Going again Tomorrow. Can't wait.

wasnt able to go, nor watch it, but from some friends i talked to, it was something to remember! Joe had a great game, and Kubby hit a bomb, which was fitting!

Sounds like one heck of a stadium, cant wait to see it

[Bryce]

Wow. Had a great time. Will post up some pics this afternoon. We got in shortly after gates opened at noon and toured up until just before opening ceremonies. Still lots left to see.

Nit picking detractors: Lines were pretty bad but I think the new stadium is convincing people to open up their wallets a little more freely. Should get better. Wish they had staggered the seats in the main level to give even better sightlines. Main scoreboard stats were slow to come up. Batter usually had at least one pitch before his previous at bats were listed. Some of the videos were pretty choppy. Upper levels seem pretty steep. Was up under the canopy to take some pics and I got a little woozy. Hope the beer stand closest to your seats has your flavor. There are plenty of them but most only pour one brand.

I was there for the open house and will be there for the game on Saturday. One thing I noticed with my parent's seats (season tix) was that you have no scoreboard to look at. Obviously, the game is what you should be looking at, but it would be nice to see the replays and such...

Plus, now how will I know if I'm on the Kiss Cam!!!

[mrklean]

watched the last few innings great game now lets keep it up all year

[Bryce]

Just a couple more quick thoughts.

The Red Sox home run/foul ball replay early on. Not one replay on the highly touted scoreboard.

Tony O's sandwhich is worth the $9 price. Very interesting smoked flavor.

I think the outdoor stadium is already attracting more tight t-shirts with the "Twins" logo proudly displayed if you catch my drift. Can't wait for the first 90 degree day. My oh my.

[Splake]

Heeeeeey touch um all Bryce! I miss Herb.

It's the same as hockey, you're not going to see a reviewable goal on the scoreboard...that's an advantage of staying home and watch it, you get to see replay after replay at different angles. I would much rather be at the games though.

i would agree on the replay, but man, theres something about being at the game!

[mr_jman]

Yeah I think just about everyone would rather take a seat at the game than seeing 3 or 4 replays on TV at home.

I also think most of us would rather be at the game looking at those tight Twins t-shirts over a replay anyday!
