The rest back in the room did us all well, then we grabbed some food in the lobby and headed back in the car for the game. It was tough getting tickets to the game as all of the Twins this year have been sold out. This was the inaugural season for Target Field, the Twins are a good team, and the fans were very excited. We got standing room only tickets, which I was a little concerned about, before we got there.
We parked the car about 5 blocks from the stadium and walked through downtown Minneapolis on a beautiful night. The stadium was packed, and we were wearing our Rays gear to support our team. The stadium was really nice, and many fans were talking to us about how nice it is to have an outdoor stadium after years of playing indoors. We started on the 3rd base line watching the game, and meandered around as the game progressed. It was a great game, with the Rays tying it with two outs in the 9th, then winning the game in the 10th innings. The Twins fans were shocked, but instead of cursing at us, many were telling us good game, as if we had played! Ahh the difference between northeasterners and mid westerners.
After the game we went down by the field to take some pictures and had a nice conversation about our trip with some of the ushers. Everyone was just so nice to us the whole time we were there. O bought a tshirt the reads "Chicks Dig the Outdoors", a play on the old commercial with a twist on the Twins new stadium.
We walked back to the car, the city still bustling on a Thursday night. Another full day complete on this wonderful excursion. Tomorrow we leave for South Dakota, a long day on the road before a 3 day stop in Mt. Rushmore land!
