First Night Game!

Friday was our first night game! What a thrill! With clear skies and a sunny start, it turned into a breezy, cool, clear evening! The lights of the city in the background... so much fun! Here's what my friends Pat and Eric had to say about the night....

First Night game at Target Field
April 16th, 2010
7:10 Start
Twins vs. K.C. with Baker on the mound.
Twins win 10-3

63 degrees at the start of the game, 53 when it was done. The field is beautiful. Tonya's seats are great, full view of the whole field. Watching night fall on downtown Mpls. was amazing. Watching baseball outside in Minnesota in April was too wonderful for words. Bringing a light stadium blanket would probably have been a good idea. Can't wait to go again!!

Stadium pros: Outdoor baseball
Stadium cons: Not enough sinks in the ladies room
