Target Field
The actual game was a downer, since the Twins were shut out 2-0 by the Orioles, but I enjoyed wandering around the new stadium taking pictures of this strange new baseball environment.
The view as I first walked in the gates to Target Field:
Jim and I walked around on several decks. This is the upper deck.
I ate Chinese while walking around. I didn't have dinner before we left.
Under the upper deck you can see SKY. You can also get rained on.
A very flat Bert Blyleven.
The "fowl" pole.
This bird (a hawk perhaps?) sat up on the first base foul pole most of the night. Since the game was a yawner (the Twins got shut out 2-0), the crowd, especially in the outfield, watched the bird swoop off the pole and eat insects. They'd cheer every time the bird swooped. The camera crew caught on and showed occasional live footage on the big screen of the bird sitting on its perch.
(I must confess, I miss the Dome. I was familiar with it and I enjoyed getting sucked out as we left the building. Outdoor baseball seems weird in Minnesota)
