No Roof a Problem?
Temps look like they won't make it out of the 30s for the opening series. Still plan on layering up and going to Saturday's game regardless.

I was wondering when this thread would pop up. Bundle up boys! Have some hot cocoa, or a few whiskey's and you'll be fine.

You might have missed the bit from a few years back. I made a jab at St. Peter when the Twins charged fans for hot chocolate during a storm. It was in good jest, but the homers let me have it.weimy froob wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 10:11 ami think it is when it's that cold.ForCaleb wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 10:00 amBring some extra cash, though.

It'll be more of a concern in getting the 10" of snow out of there that is going to fall Monday through Tuesday.

Well it seems some also think no teams have ever played baseball outside before.

Somewhere near Main Street in St Anthony Main as you told us. You went to DLS and cheered on Damon Dragotas.

Re: No Roof a Problem?
When is it too cold for baseball? Twins will have to decide during chilly homestand
The combination of a stubborn winter that won’t go away and a long home stand against uncommon opponents will lead to some tough decisions for the Twins and their fans soon.
The combination of a stubborn winter that won’t go away and a long home stand against uncommon opponents will lead to some tough decisions for the Twins and their fans soon.
At the heart of the matter is this question: When is it too nasty outside to play baseball?
“A lot of variables go into assessing whether you’re going to play,” Twins President Dave St. Peter said Monday. “Air temperature is one, wind is another and of course precipitation is the biggest concern. Beyond that, you think about things like whether a team is returning over the course of a season.”
Because of those variables, St. Peter said deciding whether to play is “far from an exact science,” and Major League Baseball has no specific criteria.
But all the factors St. Peter mentioned could be in play starting Thursday, when the Twins are slated to open their home schedule against the Mariners in a game that has already been announced as a sellout.
Thursday’s forecast calls for sun and a high in the mid-30s — and that chilly day might be nicer than the next several days that follow it. Friday is a scheduled off day, and temps are only projected to climb into the mid-20s in Minneapolis.
“If Friday was markedly better than Thursday, we might consider postponing Thursday,” St. Peter said. “But we fully expect to play Thursday.”
Saturday might not climb above freezing. Sunday and Monday it might snow — the former being the finale of the Seattle series and the latter being the start of a series against Houston that ends Wednesday, with the forecast for the final two games only being marginally better.
Those are the only scheduled series for both teams at Target Field this season, so a postponement without an immediate makeup during the same series would mean trying to find a common off date to play later in the season.

who was the idiot that used to argue this on the basis fans should be guaranteed a game because some might travel here for the game?
that one always cracked me up.
