Plans to visit the Metrodome before demolition
It’s no secret that I love baseball. My family has season tickets to White Sox games, and one of my goals in life is to see all 30 MLB stadiums.
Luckily, I made it to old Yankee Stadium before it was closed for good. Sadly, I never went to a Mets game at Shea Stadium. I’ve heard so much about the Metrodome, home of the Minnesota Twins, that I would love to check it out before it is demolished after the 2009 season.
My schedule is pretty full for the summer, so I’d like to head Northwest in the fall. I’m thinking mid-September, the end of the regular season.

Every day, I keep looking for tickets via my favorite agency, and I’m finding some pretty close seats for $150 and under. There’s something about sitting close to the players that makes the experience more enjoyable, especially on the road. I’m guilty of putting athletes in this “superhuman” category, along with most celebrities. I get all giddy when I can snap an up-close-and-personal pic!
While doing some research, I did come across a cool hotel package that offers a Deluxe guest room at the Holiday Inn, tickets to the game and transportation to the game. My ideal trip would be from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon, requiring two nights in a hotel. I have to submit an inquiry to see what is available, though.
I’ve been to Minnesota twice, and only to shop at the Mall of America. Any tips/recommendations are appreciated. If I use them, I’ll be happy to credit you when I blog about my visit!
