Living up to the hype

The much anticipated Twins stadium is now open.  The team played their first exhibition game in their new outdoor ball park this past weekend and Jason had a chance to go to one of their first games with a friend of ours.  We've all heard about this stadium for a solid year and Jason says it lives up to the hype! 

Target field has about 40,000 seats, a great view of the city skyline, and food options far beyond hot dogs.  The new stadium boasts a ton of favorite munchies from stir fry to steak sandwiches. 
The $412 million dollar stadium was a source of controversy here.  The county approved a sales tax hike to pay for most of the stadium -  without asking for voters approval.  That said, I haven't heard one bad thing about the new digs.  It's a big change from the dome.
We'll see if the new stadium brings them luck this season.
