Yesterday's loss probably left most Minnesota Twins fans with a sour taste in their mouth, if not an upset stomach after their team gave up five runs in the seventh and blew a 3 - 2 lead, losing to the Chicago White Sox. Perhaps it will help get everyone's mind off the loss if we switch to another stomach-related topic; food.
While there are many things to dislike about the Metrodome as a baseball park, certainly one of the contributing factors has always been the quality, or lack thereof, of food options at the Dome. Sure, you could always get a decent hot dog, and things have improved a bit in the last few years. But any Twins fan who went to a game at say, Baltimore or San Diego couldn't help but be struck that it was possible to go to a ballgame and eat a decent meal at the same time. A truly revolutionary concept for Minnesota sports fans.
So it comes as good news that according to this story in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the new stadium will bring along with it a serious upgrade in the available food choices. Walleye tacos, ahi tuna and cheese curds could all make their way on to the menu. The Twins will also be conducting polls of fans for suggestions as to what should be served in the new ballpark.
While there are few things better than a cold beer at a ballgame, I have to admit that the thought of basking in the sun at a day game while sipping on a frozen margarita has its appeal.
