I still can’t believe that they didn’t at least do a retractable roof when they built the new stadium.
In fairness to the planners, Target Field is as fine a place to play and watch a ball game as I have seen. I have't been to a lot of major league parks, but have been to a few and thoroughly enjoy watching a game at Target Field. I have sat in just about every section there is. I don't think they have a bad viewpoint.
The problem with retractable roofs is they add bazillions to the building costs. Since I have to help pay for it, I support the decision to have a traditional ball field. It's infinitely better than the Metrodome.
I just don't want to watch a game when I have to sit, literally, on several inches of snow. I s'pect the crowds will return when summer returns, even if not until 2019.
