All of a sudden I have this bizarre hope the Twins never move out of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome...
Wait, do you actually call the thing the "Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome"?
Usually "the Hump," "the Dome" or 'the Metrodome."

The Dome is a rotten venue i've always thought, but it does a good job of keeping the cold out.

Of course I will never forget when the Iowa fans tore down the goal post and tried to get it out through the dome's revolving doors.

It is. But it's one of the very few stadiums that isn't named for a company anymore. And given a bit of renovation it will be a very good venue for the Vikings for many years to come. It just sucks huge amounts of ass as a venue for the Twins.
