An excellent 5-2 win over Boston for the Twins today in their first regular season game at Target Field. There are many reasons to like the new ballpark, but not having to listen to opposing teams and their fans bitching about the Metrodome will be right up there on the list.
A little bit of trivia from that link on a day that has provided a wealth of it. If you're going to open a new major league ballpark, book the Red Sox:
This is the fifth time the Red Sox have been the visiting team for the first official game at a new ballpark, though the first since 1923. Boston also helped open Oriole Park (Baltimore, 1901), Shibe Park (Philadelphia, 1909), Griffith Stadium (Washington, 1911) and Yankee Stadium (New York, 1923). The Red Sox lost all five.
