A Couple of Days at The Dome
The Minnesota Twins, in the 163rd game of the regular season, just beat the Detroit Tigers in 12 innings to win the AL Central division and clinch the league's final playoff spot. A light cheer even went up from the hipsters around the too-cool-for-school coffee shop I'm currently in.
This win is hot on the heels of the Minnesota Viking's defeat of their hated division rival the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football at the hands of Green Bay's former quarterback - Brett Favre.
Quite a couple of days for the Metrodome!
The Dome doesn't have a good reputation in these parts. Both the Minnesota Gophers and the Minnesota Twins have vacated The Dome for their own outdoor stadiums. Most people I know think it is ugly and a substandard venue for viewing professional sports. I have a co-worker that won't even go there.
These past two days it seems as though The Dome is saying to the entire state of Minnesota, "Look at me guys! I can still bring the magic!" And while I think the writing is on the wall for the Metrodome, we'll always have these two days,
