How about this scenario: EVICT the Twins and the Vikings from the Metrodome and have Monster Truck competitions and Lutefisk festivals year-round! Throw in a Billy Graham / Robert Schuler double-header every now and then and we've got plenty of events to keep the Metrodome going...
Look, who's to say that in another few years the Evil Empire that is Major League Baseball (and the NFL for that matter) won't contract the Twins anyway? Wouldn't that be goofy; brand spankin' new stadium and the Twins are liquidated and the funds rolled into a trust fund for the Pohlad Foundation. Honestly, what would it take to keep the Metrodome a viable facility? Do we need the Vikings/Twins in there to keep the place at the very least cost- neutral? It IS owened by the Metro Sports Facilities Commission, right? Heck...lets hots curling tournaments, Figure skating and Gymnastic competitions (with LOCAL not international judges of course), motocross events, and last but not least: BRING BACK ROLLER DERBY!!!
