Metrodome Tour

June 27, 2007

Chad ~ the biggest MN Sports fan I know ~ is here for a visit. I had the idea to check to see if the Metrodome did tours. I found that they do! Cool. And for only 3 bucks! We were excited. So I loaded Carson, Chad, Jacob and Austin in the car and off we went.

It was AWESOME! AWESOME!! AWESOME!!!

Check out the pictures for details of all we got to see.

That's a long bench! (Twins have padded seats...visiting team does not!)
