Can’t wait for the Twinkies to make it to the World Series...baseball should be played in a blizzard....BTW..have you been to the new ballpark. From what I’ve seen on the tube, it looks awesome..visiting players all love it...
As a Hennepin County resident, I don’t like paying for it.
I dislike even more the fact that I was denied the right to vote (in a referendum) as to whether I wanted to be taxed for it or not.
This was a project that could have and should have been financed entirely in the private sector.
Went to the 1st night game there. Great ballpark (with great subsidies):
MINNESOTA TWINS GET ANOTHER SUBSIDY
Nearly 2,000 beer swilling, brat eating fans pack themselves onto the train for each and every home game for which this subsidized service is available. In fact, extra cars have been added to meet the demand after busses were called in before one game to quell the civil unrest that nearly broke out when disappointed fans at the Fridley station learned there was no more room on the train for them and there would be no riding the roof or hanging on the sides of the train. This isn’t Bangladesh, after all.
Now, train service is being added for more games and bus service is being added to carry Saint Cloud-based fans down to Big Lake, which will undoubtedly make for less room for Fridley-based fans.
If only the train was as popular when it comes to its intended purpose - transporting commuters to and from work for the ostensible purpose of relieving congestion on Highway 10 during the rush hours.
