Au stade du Twins

Some thoughts on the newly released drawings of the Twins stadium:

  • It looks really, really nice. I love the idea of putting an entrance behind the actual outfield table area. I also love the possibility of sitting on the top of a parking structure and watching the game.
  • Glad to see the right field wall will still be raised, although I wish it would be as high as the baggie. Also, if they could still find a way to make it out of old trash bags, that would be killer.
  • This looks to be a hitters park - what with the lack of deep foul ground and clearly defined alleys. This should make for a fun home run derby.
  • I never liked the look of parks with an unrounded warning track. Can't we just make the grass rounded? It bothers the living hell out of me, I mean it.
  • I'm not quite sure what to think of the outside. It looks like a mixture of something cool and of an airport concourse. I think it will work in the same city with the Guthrie, however.
  • I don't care how cold it is, I would give anything to be there on opening day.
