"We're overwhelmed by it," Jerry Bell, president of Twins Sports, Inc., said of the vote.

Another useless socialist peckerhead pretending he's a capitalist. Hey, Jerry, you want a new stadium, go get a job and buy it.

Allow me to express an opposing viewpoint, which I'm sure many of you disagree with. While I generally do not support most public funding for private organizations, I think sports teams might be an exception. The cold hard fact of the matter is if Minnesota does not build a new stadium, we could loose the Twins. The Metrodome is possibly the worst ballpark in the country, and while I do have many good memories there, baseball is to be played outdoors on grass IMO. 2 cents out of every $20 spent until the stadium is payed off is a small price to pay for the amount of entertainment the Twins organization provides to us Minnesotans. If you don't like it, well, vote with your feet I guess. After all, its the Minnesota Twins, not the Carl Pohlad Twins.
