Minnesota Sports Story of the 2010 Year: Opening of Target Field

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the sports story of the 2010 year was the opening of Target Field. I, for one, agree with this point. As an avid Minnesota sports fan, Target Field is an absolutely phenomenal stadium and has done wonders for Downtown Minneapolis. This is what the article reads:

"In what would become the story of the summer, the Twins opened Target Field in April to rave reviews and a sound victory over the Boston Red Sox. It was an unseasonably warm and sunny April afternoon, and the auspicious start was a sign of things to come."

Congratulations Target Field!

Could the Minnesota Vikings Ever Play at Target Field?

In case you missed it, there was a blizzard. In case you missed it, the Metrodome Roof collapsed. Okay, so everyone already knows that in Minnesota. Since the Metrodome is considered unplayable, the Minnesota Vikings will take on the Chicago Bears at TCF Bank Stadium. So, my question is, could the Minnesota Vikings ever play at Target Field? Here my perspective is that the Minnesota Vikings could possibly play a game there but there are some limitations. The seating is built for baseball, not football. However, I am interested in hearing your opinions. Comment and let me know!

Will Tsuyoshi Nishioka Grace Target Field?

Last Friday, it was announced that Japanese superstar Tsuyoshi Nishioka may be headed to the Minnesota Twins next season. The Minnesota Twins won the bidding war to get the rights to negotiate a deal with the Japanese star - a $5 million price tag. The team has until December 26 to work out a deal. He could play either short stop or second base and is a switch hitter. Last season, he hit .346 with 206 hits, the first Japanese player to hit over 200 hits since Ichiro Suzuki. He also stole 22 bases. This player could generate some buzz in the middle infield.
