Twins fans are going to have one hell of a skyline view. Too bad the Wells Fargo Center won't be front and center.


Below you can see where the new Target Field is in relation to the Metrodome and the Target Center, which is getting a green roof.

I really dislike Pittsburgh but it is a gross oversight that PNC Park isn't listed.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards is the by far best baseball stadium and is the mother of all retro style ball parks.

Yep. And I love the new Yankee stadium. The old one was a dump.

Much as I like the Yankees, it made no sense for the best team to play in a mediocre stadium. Now the best team is in the best park.
