Next to Target Field its the closest MLB ballpark for Twins fans. During the Dome years when the Twins were hot and Brewers not. Twins fans filled up Miller Park. I remember a fan, saying when we were there in 2002, "I'm jealous of your park not your team." Pohlad wanted something like that in our city when the ballpark bill was in the midst of debate. its huge ballpark and we saw it under construction when we were at there old home, just across street behind the out field. it the retractable roof it unique. when open the two panels of the roof sit on the first and third baseline. If you look at it from a birds eye view, it makes a "V". the exterior of the ballpark is brick, traditional looking, the seats Fenway green, like the ones at Target Field. The opening of it was delayed by a year, because a construction worker was killed. When we went we sat lower deck behind home plate, and we bought the tickets at the park on game day. the Ballpark has a lively feel, and had perfect baseball feel, a traditional style ballpark.
