Minnesota Twins Opener and the snow

It’s finally here! It’s finally here! The Minnesota Twins home opener! The Los Angeles Anaheim Angels are in town and it’s a good thing we are still at the HHH Metrodome because the six inches of falling snow would for sure cancel the game in the new Twins open-air stadium.

There is a lot of talk on sports radio about how stupid Minnesota is for not putting a roof on their brand new multi-million dollar stadium and I for one have to agree. It always seems that Minnesota does everything the cheap way, not the right way. Let’s face it, this is Minnesota and there will be snow in March and April and lots of rain too. I am not looking forward to the nightmare of rescheduled games or of opening the season so late thanks to Minnesota weather. It just doesn’t seem right to have a stadium in the nations ice box without a roof. I am all for open air baseball, but come on, let’s put a retractable roof on the thing!

The owner stated during the opener that he hopes to work with MLB to schedule every season openinng series on the road but he may have to schedule all of April on the road. They are still getting snow in northern Minnesota and its April 27th
