I never liked the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.  The first time I ever went to  a game at the dome in the early 1990s, the weather outside was simply gorgeous.  Inside the stadium only one word came to mind.....dreary.  I've felt the same way every time I've seen a game there since.

Having said that, I am going to watch a game there this weekend.  My team, the Kansas City Royals, is paying a visit to Minneapolis.  Since the Twins are moving to a new venue next year, I figure this will probably be the last chance I'll be able to see a game in the dome.  Even though I don't enjoy watching games there, there's going to be a sense of nostalgia about all the things that have happened there since it opened in 1982.  And I'll be able to say that I saw a game in its last year of housing the Twins.

I'm really looking forward to watching outdoor baseball next year at the new Target Field.  It looks like it's really going to be a nice stadium.  But I'm probably going to wait until at least mid-May to go.  Minnesota weather can be pretty chilly the first month or so of the season. 

At least the Metrodome's weather was always right around a comfortable 70 degrees, but that's the only nice thing I'm going to say about it!
