Minneapolis

If you pull out a map and look at our path, you may start to notice that we depart from all logical thinking at this point in time. Minneapolis is a four and a half hour drive west of Milwaukee. We stayed the nights of both of these games in Milwaukee because our next stop was Detroit (yup – look on a map and tell me how this makes sense). That is just how it goes sometimes. So, we were up early and did a lot of driving to get to the Minneapolis game.

The outside of the stadium was the nicest little collection of vendors we had seen. It was a nice sunny day. We parked literally right next to the stadium for cheap and got the most melt in your mouth BBQ ever, roasted corn, kettle corn and a homemade corn dog (they like corn). By the way, even with the walking we have been doing, we have both gained weight during this trip from all of the crap we have been forced to eat (I guess forced is not the right word). LA Fitness here we come!

The food was great and we sat in the shade before the game and enjoyed. The stadium is also used by the football team so we got the nosebleed seats behind home plate and watched the game from very high up. It was still a nice game and the stadium is very similar to the King Dome in Seatlle before it was torn down. The white puffy roof is also bad for outfielders who often lose sight of the ball – white on white.

We stopped at Mall of America to stock up on underwear and to see where the old field used to be – it could fit inside the current mall.
