We started out here, in the stands, a familiar place to me :) We learned that the flag pole is the original flag pole from the Met, just a bit shorter, it used to be 95 feet tall, and used to be right in center field in the middle of the playing field!
We also learned that the jumbo-tron is the 4th biggest in MLB... if you add 3 feet to either end of the board, it's the size of a basketball court! craaaazy. it's also 4 times as big as the one in the metrodome.
These are the suites... you have to buy them in 2 4 or 6 year terms... they are all purchased thru the next few years.... they are all named after MN lakes. We got to take a peak in Jim Thome's suite.
Up to the Budwiser Roof Deck...a place I haven't been in the stadium! The games are sold out for the roof deck this year. There are only tickets to Tuesday and Saturday games to the deck...the rest have been sold to different corporations and junk
All the pennants we've won since 61
WHAT A VIEW!
Here are some of the "firsts" as far as balls go....first pitch, first homerun, etc.
The Metropolitan club... another place i hadn't been yet
What awesome china... I wonder where I could register for this one day...
More suites.. these ones are sold each game rather than the others that are per season.
We are the greenest ballpark in america...this is where the rainwater goes... it's recycled by using it when they wash the seats, and sprinkle the field!
Here I am in outfield!
Here I am sitting on the Twins' bullpen bench!
ANNND Here we go into the visiting team's locker room!
this thing is STOCKED!!! lookit all the food and drink in here. The batboys help the visiting team, and if there isn't something here that a player wants, say jimmy johns, the bat boys get it ordered and get it to the players...and they are tipped out at the end of the series... i want to be a bat boy!
and here is the locker room of the visiting teams...
Soooo we have some a-holes in this game... we have this brand new beautiful park, and the milwaukee brewers come to town and vandalize it!!! there are similar cleat marks on the other door too. what a bunch of a holes.
We've always got to get our goofy photo.... i'm loving this one. crack me up.
We are in the visitors dug out here. my butt is where Chipper Jones, and Andruw Jones' asses have been!
oh my goodnesssssss soooo close to the action i can hardly handle it!
This is the Champion Club... pretty nice digsss....
LOOOVE the carpet here!! Want it for my own house!
So here is the view from a Champion's club seat. This seat would cost you $23,000 a year!
and this is the one place we didn't get to see :( but that's b/c Joe Nathan and Justin Morneau were in!! I guess this winter they may do tours thru the clubhouse...may have to do this all over again!
Can't leave without a photo by the golden glove!
aaauhhh danny and hall of famer Harmen Killebrew
And here's the Plaza. See the vine thingies to the left? there are 9 of these bats... each inning one lights up. i have yet to see this cuz its so stinking bright during the games!
and that's it. if you haven't done the tour, you gotta! $15 and you get to see it all!
