Pub In The Park

Well I can see having an open air stadium in areas of the country like the southwest but in a cold state like Minnesota it only makes sense to have built a great indoor stadium for the sports and other events to entertain the city. There are plenty of fans of many sports that live in the twin cities area and the deserve to root on their favorite teams in comfort and style. It is part of the thrill of the game to see a foot ball game in freezing cold weather bundled up with the stranger next to you while still enjoying a cold beer. However, it is even better under a climate controlled atmosphere with out the snowy mess for everyone to have to deal with. That includes the players of the game. In 1982, Minneapolis finished their replacement of the Metropolitan Stadium with the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and being a sports fan has never been so good. The Metrodome is the main venue to see all of the major sports games as well as many special events. It is the home of the Minnesota Vikings and can also host games for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. Back in the day, it cost 68 million to build, which was actually under budget by about 2 million. It has hosted many great games for the past couple of decades such as the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 1985 as well as the 1991 World Series. Super Bowl XXVI was hosted at the Metrodome in 1992. There has also been a number of basket ball championships held here between 1986 and 2009. There have been some player records set in this big arena. Eddie Murray, Dave Winfield and Cal Ripken Junior all joined the 3000 hit club here. This is also were Green Bay Packer Quarterback, Brett Favre, through his record breaking touchdown pass to Greg Jennings. He took the record from 420 to 421. Brett Favre, returned as a team mate with the Vickings and won against the Green Bay Packers which has given him the unique record of being able to claim victory over every team in the league of the NFL. Coming to the Metrodome for a game could be the reason you have been looking at these Minneapolis hotels but, if not, than see who is playing while you are visiting. It would be an exciting night of beer, peanuts and sports.
