all I got to say is that I support a bit of higher taxes to get an outdoor park

 

But the Twins can't control the windspeed and direction in an open air park. How in the hell do they hope to compete without that advantage?

Looks damn good.  The incorporated the skyline into the view from most of the ballpark.  Not doing so is one huge mistake they made when the Cell was built.

 

this is my biggest complaint of all of them. The Cell would have been awesome sunk into the ground so you came in at the top of the 100 level, and somewhere in the south loop (which was dirt cheap in 1988) looking north at the impressive Chicago skyline.

The Vikings are aiming for a new stadium up in Anoka (a northern subarb) they plan to move their headquarter to the new place too (right now its in Eden Prarie a western subarb)

 

The Gophers, The Twins, and the Vikings are all looking at finicing for new stadium in the next legislative seesion which starts March 1st

 

right now, I thin the Gophers are a shoe in to get their money (theyve raise a bunch of money for people are corporations, and sold the stadium naming rights for extra money. the stadium would be open air and on campus)

 

I think the Twins are at 50-50 (from what I understand) and the Vikings are trailing that probably 45-55. I havent talking with my Representative lately about it so the deatils are a bit fuzzy

 

 

*correction* the way the Twins stadium deal is set up is that there isnt state money involved, but a local option sales tax for Hennipin County (Minneapolis) would pay for it. The thing has been voted on (by the county comminssoners, but not a referendum) and needs State approval for the tax to go into effect. Which I guess is standard operating prodcedure. The hangup is that people are crying foul because there was no referendum.

Where did you find that original photo of the roof?

Google images. Typed in "Metrodome Swastika"

I used paint to outline it

Some guy in my poli sci class was talking about it, something related to our current events discussion that day. I googled it, and I found it.
