Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome

Pros: Weather doesn't influence whether to see a game or not.
Cons: TC Cap off, on my left breast in loving support of my team.

I finally made it to my first Twins game in May. I'm glad I found the time. As long as I can remember, I have been a Twins fan. Sometimes I was hanging my head low, and other times I was jumping for joy and watching parties in the streets of...

Pros: The Twins are in First Place.
Cons: My mind feels empty.

Once, in college while I still had the freedom to do so, I was sitting in Perkins at about 3 AM and I compiled a list. The list was going to change my life. It was entitled, “Things that keep me stupid” and it was just that, things that I believed that...

Pros: It's address; Kirby Pucket Place
Cons: outdated and generic

It's a Friday night in the Twin Cities, it's been a long week and you're tired. All you want to do is stretch out your legs and have a couple beers in some peace and quiet. Your options? Why not head to a Twins game?


The much...

Pros: Price
Cons: everything else

While I was in Minneapolis this last weekend I went to a Twins game at the Metro Dome. (This was the only way that I could get my fiancé to spend his whole day at The Mall of America Shopping). All I can say is that I went and saw a game. The dome is...

Pros: Hosts the Vikings
Cons: No real atmosphere or character

The fans of the Minnesota Vikings deserve to see their team in a better stadium. Granted, I don't live in Minnesota anymore, so I have absolutely no say in the matter. (As for all the Twins fans, yes, all four of you...nevermind.)

The...

Pros: Easy to get to, hot dogs
Cons: Congested traffic after the game, outdoor stadium's better

I've been to the metrodome many times, for Vikings, Twins, and Gophers events.

Although I was initially excited about its opening back in 1982, my enthusiasm for it has diminished. I don't think a domed stadium is useful except where games are...

Pros: Can see the whole field, the whole time.
Cons: Loud, and food is expensive.

Last night (11-30-00), I experienced my first NFL football game, and it took place at the Minneapolis Metrodome. Maybe I'm not the person to be reviewing this place, due to my lack of experience with an array of sporting facilities, but I feel that I...

Pros: The perfect venue for monster truck shows.
Cons: How much time do you have?

The Hump Dome is a failure on so many levels that it’s hard to to know where to start. It’s an aesthetic disaster on the inside and the outside. It was designed as a dual-use stadium for football and baseball. Aspiring to be all things to all people, it...

Pros: Fit for a good implosion
Cons: Everything

For any of you who have had the misfortune of attending a baseball or football game at the Metrodoom, you probably wished you could have watched the game at home. this is a poor excuse for a sporting facility. It's obvious that the doom (I really mean...

Pros: It's really not as bad as its reputation suggests. Twins games are really cheap!
Cons: It wasn't designed for baseball. Not enough restrooms. It's a boring place.

I've seen many baseball games in the H.H.H. metrodome, and one football game. I've also been to a few other ball parks. I have fond memories of watching games in the metrodome. It has a very simple design, but unfortunately it's really a football stadium...

Pros: accessibility, food
Cons: traipsing up and down the aisles

This is one ballpark for which I had high hopes. This is one of those stadiums where people specialize in wandering around. I think most of the people around me walked up and down the aisle at least 6 times -- in the middle of an inning always --...

Pros: They have good hot dogs
Cons: The hot dogs are their only redeeming quality.

I must agree with drlolipop about how much of a dump the Dome is. The seating is horrible (though slightly better than bleachers), you have to practically be directly ON the field to see anything, and I don't think it's seen a cleaning crew in years. The...

Pros: Place to watch pro sports in Minnesota
Cons: Do I have enough space to list them? =)

John Casey, the Minnesota Twins announcer belts this line out before he announces the game's starting lineups. Whenever I'm at a Twins game, I always look around at peoples' reactions and I think "do they really want to be INSIDE on a day like...

Pros: The teams have potential.
Cons: It's better to watch it on television than in the Dome.

Do not be mistaken. I am not a fan of Minnesota professional athletics. However, as a true sports fan, it would be an injustice if I did not advocate for all residents and/or fans of Minnesota athletics when I encourage taxpayers to foot the bill for a...

Pros: Easy to get to, avoid Twin Cities' Spring and Fall weather
Cons: Dark, dank and dreary, low attendance

The Twin Cities are fraternal rather than identical twins. If this stadium had been placed in the good looking and charismatic twin of St. Paul maybe it would have been done better. Unfortunately it was built in Minneapolis and took on the...

Pros: good service, pretty reasonably priced
Cons: astroturf, bad food, bad seats, bad parking..bad everything..etc..

Ok, Since the Metrodome is really the only place to see professional baseball (and usually I only go when a good team is playing), I have had many an occasion to sample the wonderful possibilities there. The cheap seats, so high up that, yes, I have...

Pros: good teams
Cons: bad stadium

OK, so we all know that the dome isn't the most aesthetically pleasing venue out there, neither for baseball nor football. I've been to lots of Twins games, and there just seems to be something wrong with going inside on a beautiful afternoon to watch a...

Pros: Good view of field and the best fans on earth
Cons: Slightly out-of-date; no big attractions

I'm not defending the Metrodome nor am I attacking it yet, but how many people really have strong feelings for the dome itself? I've been to Twins games,Vikings games, a Timberwolve game, and I worked there a security for a while, so I feel I know the...

Pros: price
Cons: no longer viable or fan friendly

The HHH Metrodome has become obsolete for baseball purposes. It can no longer financially support a major league team. The Twins, a once prospering, championship caliber organization, have lost money and have not been able to compete since 1992.
...

Pros: Protection from harsh climate. Its paid for. Light rail link.
Cons: Cold, sterile feel.Sightlines for baseball. Very long rows of seats. PA system. Drab location.

I have visited the Metrodome numerous times, most frequently for Minnesota Twins baseball games. The Metrodome lives on as a concrete and steel monument to multi-purpose stadiums everywhere – of which there are very few remaining. The sterile, cold ...

Pros: Easily accessible via the lightrail, loud and full of energy. Good food to be had.
Cons: Dated appearance, food and souvenirs are pricey.

I recently attended my first NFL game! Minnesota Vikings vs. Oakland Raiders, in Minnesota. This event was held, of course, in the Metrodome. It was my first time in a professional sports arena, so forgive me if I sound a little awestruck or am unable ...

Pros: Indoors for those frosty MN winter days
Cons: poor sight for baseball, is in downtown Minneapolis

I have been to the metrodome for numerous events, Twins, Vikes, and Monster Truck races. It is marginal for Twins games, the sight lines are poor and to sit inside during the summer in Minnesota just makes it not worth the time to go to the game. It is...

Pros: great food, great games
Cons: indoor facility takes away from the ballgame atmosphere

There has been a lot of criticism lately of the Hubert H. Humphry Metrodome. Well, I think that the metrodome is a great sporting venue. Sure it has it flaws, but what doesn't? The Twins and Vikings complain that they can't compete in the dome - you...

Pros: one of the noisiest
Cons: no leg room

Well, as someone who has been to quite a few arenas across the country, all I can say is that the Metrodome is not quite that good as a football venue. As far as stadiums are concerned, the Metrodome is considered "ancient." There is virtually...

Pros: Price - but only for baseball
Cons: everything else

This past weekend I went to a Twins game at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. I did not like the dome for a baseball game, but it looked liked it might be ok for a football game. Hopefully for Minnesota they will get a new baseball park like they need....

Pros: Parking, seating
Cons: None

The Metrodome has taken a lot of scrutiny lately from the people of St. Paul and Minneapolis. These people want the Twins to get a new stadium. However, when I visited this facility in 1996, it was a very nice place. The setup of the Metrodome is good...

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

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...

Pros: Warm in winter
Cons: Atmosphere not as good

The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome has been home to the Minnesota Vikings and the Minnesota Twins for many years. Being a fan of both major league sports teams, it is hard to say it but the dome has to go. The atmosphere is so much better in an outside...

Pros: Price
Cons: Parking, Food, Aesthetics

This stadium is terrible. The face value of the tickets isn't bad but that is because the minnnesota twins haven't been good for 12 years! The stadium is ugly with it's astroturf field and it's "baggy" out in right field. It is hard to play on...

Pros: Not Much
Cons: bad Parking, Bad Food, Bad Stadium

The title of my review pretty much tells the story of this horrendous object that is the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. This is by far the worst stadium ever built in the United States. I have been to this stadium many times throughout my lifetime...

Pros: Home of one of the BEST MLB teams EVER. Roof keeps out SNOW.
Cons: Sterile, bland, just like anything Scandanavian. Crappy 3.2 beer, lousy location

I had to suffer watching my FAVORITE sport in this #$%! plastic, sterile bubble that was really made for the NFL MN Vikings. The places just sucks beyond comprehension and you can't even get a real beer in the place; only that other stupid bastion of ...

Pros: ticket price, baseball team, fans, loud factor, and of course dome dogs
Cons: out dated, not designed for baseball, and baseball parking

Alright lets face it the dome is old but people don't go to a ball game for that. Every time I walk into the actual dome where you can see the field your in the game. Who cares in the food isn't that good. Its part of the atmosphere. Sure your not ...

Pros: It provides the greatest home field advantage for the Vikings, and Twins.
Cons: It looks like a bubble

The Big white bubble is the home of the Minnesota Vikings, as well as the Twins, and football Gophers. When it was resurrected it was obviously built for football, because you might as well watch baseball on tv, you have a better seat in front of...

Pros: Are there any?
Cons: Where can I start?

I've seen maybe 12 Twins games at the Metrodome, I've never been to a Vikings game, my review here is as simple as good and bad...

Good: The food isn't bad, opposing teams occasionally lose the ball in the roof (that's more funny than good),...

Pros: cheap tickets, hot dogs
Cons: Just plain wrong for professional sports.

I thought Minnesota folks might defend the Metrodome here on Epinions. Hah!

To paraphrase Garrison Keilor, the Metrodome strikes this one-time visitor as something renovations can not change and the decades can not improve. It is truly...

Pros: Seating isn't much of a problem.
Cons: Apparently not the best baseball atmosphere. (But I like it.)

I haven't been to that many stadiums. I know a lot of people really don't like the Metrodome, but since I'm too far to drive to Milwaukee or Chicago twice a week to see baseball games the dome will have to do. I'm a big Twins fan, but I really hate the...

Pros: Well, it IS baseball, and near downtown.
Cons: THE WORST stadium in the game.

This is the worst stadium in baseball - PERIOD.
Long aisles (excuse me, excuse me, sorry, excuse me, sorry, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me, sorry, excuse me, sorry, excuse me, excuse me), lousy sight lines, and IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to...

Pros: It was cheap to build, Noise level can be fun
Cons: Poor sightlines, outdated, parking

The Hubert H Humphrey Metrodome has been home to the Minnesota Twins since 1982 - which is also the Twins worst season recording 102 losses. The Dome offers poor sight lines for baseball fans and is need of replacement. There are only about 50 seats that are truly GREAT for baseball. I have enjoyed watching the Twins baseball games the most from Section 132 right over the Twins Dugout. You don't want to sit more than 20 rows up, though or you lose the intimate feeling of being at the 'ol ball game. If you can only get seats in the outfield or even in the upper deck, you might as well watch it on TV.

The Metrodome is home to more than just the MLB Twins, it's also home to the NFL Minnesota Vikings and University of Minnesota Gophers. Since 1982, the combined attendance at Metrodome events exceeds 55 million people, making it the most versatile and heavily used stadium in the nation...unfortunately, those fans are no longer getting a state of the art facility to enjoy.
