Hormel Twins Stadium
My wife and I went out to a Twins game yesterday with some of her co-workers. We really went to get the bobble heads, which we did. We each ended up with a Jacque Jones bobble head. Which, by the way, are all over eBay and going for around $30 dollars.
While waiting for the game to start we started talking about the new stadium proposal. Every sports team wants a new stadium and no taxpayer can see what’s wrong with the current one. Me included. However, we think that the Twins should get a Minnesota business to back them to build a stadium. Think about it…
Hormel Twins Stadium
Best Buy Sports Dome
3M Colosseum
How great would that be? Take the money from those business’ and forget about taxing the people. Granted we’d forever have the advertising, however it’s going to be there anyways. We already have the Target Center.
Just an idea. Hopefully the Twins have already thought about that, however they don’t seem to be going in that direction. To me it would just make more sense.
I am writing to see if 3M has any intention to get naming rights to the new Twins Stadium. With two MN companies already in the sports industry, this would be a novel idea. (Target, Excel Energy). Also 3M would also go with the idea of being the Twins 3rd Stadium. The first “M” was the Met Stadium. The 2nd was/is the Metrodome. The 3rd would be 3M Park/Field/Stadium.

That’s an excellent idea. I wish that some corporation would put their money behind it and leave us tax payers out of it. It’ll never be named after me so why should I pay for it?
