Pros:It won't last forever
Cons:Somebody built it in the first place!
The Bottom Line: nuke it!

I never thought there would be a great place for a nuclear bomb to explode until I visited the Metromonstrosity in Minneapolis! This mistake by 10,000 lakes is a monument to concrete and synthetics gone mad! I can't BELIEVE some misguided soul gave this concrete jungle 1 1/2 stars! (Must have been the beer!!!) The playing field is Astroturf, something that should have been outlawed a nanosecond after it was created in Houston.... In left field, you have hockey glass on top of the fence, in right field, a tarp that resembles a bogus baggie trash bag, and in the infield, those stupid little squares of dirt pretending to be sliding pits... Then there's the infield line! Up top, a teflon roof that collapses on the poor masses that were seduced into buying a ticket for a Twins game... Oh yea, the fans... Mama taught me NEVER to wave my hankie around in public,,, that it was rude and spread germs... But in the Metromonstrosity, Twinkies, AKA Twins fans,,, wave their homer hankies around proudly,,, I know, I know, lately all they can be proud of ARE their homer hankies! Seriously, Twins fans ARE some of the most loyal and knowledgeable fans in baseball... They CLEARLY deserve a REAL BALLPARK to root for their Twinkies in! So do Vikes fans! Parking is non-existent, the food is weak, and the stadium stinks! Before they built the Metromonstrosity, Twins and Vikes fans could attend games in a real ballpark in nearby Bloomington... But they tore it down (along with the hockey arena) to build a monument to money called the Megamall... Now if Minnesotans want to see real baseball, they have to go see the St. Paul Saints... Who could probably beat the Twins most seasons anyway! The Twins want a new ballpark, deserve a new ballpark, and so do their fans... Here's hoping they get one... NOW!
