I read in today's Strib that our new council president wants to
build the Twins Stadium behind the Target Center , downwind from the
Garbage Burner...I'm not sure this is such a great site.
I imagine there's going to be some pungent smells wafting from the
Garbage Burner on warm , humid , summer days...and the flies..not fly
balls...the swarming insect kind of flies might be a problem.
And speaking of fly balls , on those chilly days in April and
October , there's that enormous plume of steam that hangs over that part
of the city...will ballplayers lose the fly balls in the roiling cloud
of steam? If the sun is going in and out of the plume , I imagine that
would drive outfielders nuts.
I think it's time we consider a "faith-based" solution to the
stadium problem . A few thousand pot-lucks and pancake breakfasts and
we'll scrape together enough money to have a good , old-fashioned
barn-raising ...maybe if we're successful , we can start a faith-based ,
volunteer organization to build stadiums for New York and other cities
that desperately need them.
We could call the organization , "Habitat for Millionaires".
