Last time when we went to a baseball match The Minnesota Twins were situated at the west end of Nicolette Mall. The stadium was indoors with artificial grass. This is unusual for baseball, but great for the fans as it was warm and dry throughout the whole season. Since then a new stadium has been built at the other end of Nicolette Mall in downtown Minneapolis, which is outdoor and very state of the art. It is called Target Field. The Twins moved to Target Field in March 2010 after 28 seasons at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. It is the first facility built specifically for the Twins. It cost in the region of $520 and hold about 40,000 people. We spent quite a lot of time in the area, looking in the shop, at the construction and the sculptures and the historical boards telling us about the original ball players.
