Buy me some peanuts and crackerjack
Overheard at the Metrodome on Friday night while watching the Twins get beat by the Milwaukee Brewers:
“Do they have to mow the turf to get the lines in the outfield?” -Anonymous*
By the way: If you have the opportunity, like we did, to upgrade from the $7 upper deck, general admission seats to the $47 seats directly behind home plate (and the players’ wives) for free, TAKE IT! I could read the names on the back of the players’ jerseys. And we were sitting behind the players’ wives. It almost made watching a Twins loss bearable.
It’s just tough with the Dome half full of Brewers fans making more noise than the Twins fans. I guess it’s no different than when Shauna and I followed the team to Milwaukee two years ago and the Minnesota contingent blew the (retractable) roof off Miller Field, winning 2 of 3 games.
*Anonymous = Shauna.
EDIT: Shauna claims she was joking. The “webmaster” may even take this post down.
I know it’s artificial turf…I was just wondering how the lines were put in there.
Like, you know, if they used an artificial lawn mower to mow the stripes…
No?
