Twins Stadium Ideas

Check out this article from the Star Trib a few days ago. Seems the commission charged with building the new Twins stadium wanted to hear what the people of Minnesota wanted to see in their new stadium. Now, I get this. The best stadiums in the country have cool quirks. The KC stadium is still on of my favorites because they have that waterfall in center field. And I know that I laugh my ass off every time an opposing player looses a fly ball in the ceiling of the dome. However, this can backfire, as in the case of Houston, where an escaped mental patient apparently convinced them to put both a hill and a flag pole in play in center field. I'm hoping the same guy doesn't come to Minnesota between now and 2010, because he might convince the commission to adopt the final suggestion of the article:

"Minnesota should have the world's largest log cabin stadium."
