I was just asking this morning if the old Minneapolis farm team wasn't named the Millers, and we were talking about how much fun it would be to play catch up with St. Paul: What for a cute mascot? Got playhouses and sand toys to donate to the kiddie area? Need better parking than they have...
BUT, I thought we'd already decided we are NOT building a professional ball team a stadium. Wasn't that the citizen con census three or four times now? AFAIK, we still have this paid for dome in downtown Minneapolis...
Other than that, yeah, let's go for it. Maybe owned by citizens on a stockholder plan? That would be the team the stockholders would own, not a new stadium. (we HAVE a stadium! It has adjacent parking, will be convenient to rapid transit, already has hot dog grills...)
