HHH Metrodome (#10)

Cardinals vs. Twins
Twins Lose 2-7



Well, my first indoor baseball game was a good experience, but I can't get used to the idea of a sport being played under a roof. I enjoyed the stadium, not too sure about the fans. There were over 30,000 in attendance, but I have a feeling that it was due to the fact that the Cardinals and Mark McGwire were there. The grounds around the Metrodome were very neat and well kept.

The game was not a nail-biter, but had some excitement. We got to see Big Mac hit home run number 36 on what could be a record-setting season. Some controversy in the field, a ball that was caught and then dropped when being transferred to the throwing hand was ruled a hit for the batter. The only down-side was that the game didn't seem as real under the dome. Lose the roof!
