The proposal of a new Minnesota Twins ballpark in downtown Minneapolis won a crucial victory last night, as it passed a key House committee. This was expected to be one of the bill's biggest hurdles, and now it's cleared. I'm not getting too confident right away, since I've been disapointed so many times before on this count, but it's indeed looking better than ever that we'll have a shot at outdoor Major League Baseball in Minnesota by the time the decade is out.

Does anyone remember how much outdoor baseball can suck here too? Most of April is rainy and cold, and most of August is too fricking hot.
Building this stadium without a roof is a major mistake.
