Twins territory...

Last Monday we went to the Twins - Yankees baseball game here in Minneapolis at the Metrodome. So we took the bus after classes from Carlson School (two stops!) to the stadium. People were already mingeling in front of the stadium as I know it from Europe, but no fanatic fans were visible ;-) What suprised me was that we were allowed to drink beer outside in front of the stadium! New manners here in the US ;-) they finally get a bit closer to Europe... hihi ;-)

So Duc, Ivan and I checked out the food stands; first we ate a burger or a corn dog, accompanied with a beer. We then discovered roasted turkey leg... like a chicken leg but about 3 to 4 times bigger... so we had to try it... (see pictures below)... it was great but also filling. Well, that wasn't the last thing we ate on that day.
We then started to watch the game when the Yankees made two homeruns in the first two innings. Rather disappointing for us as "Twins fans"... Although our team had a bad start people were still cheering for the Twins. So the game was pretty interesting, and it got even better when we decided to go on with beer and food :-)



After 2.5 hours we lost 8:2 but we also enjoyed a great atmosphere at the Metrodome. By the way the Metrodome holds 48'000 people max and is supported by an air-inflated roof. So there is overpressure in the stadium; we were literally blown out of the Stadium when we left!!! You can actually very well see the Metrodome on Earth Google... check out the flag in the sidebar.

Once on the bus back to the west bank, we decided to go to Bullwinkles for another beer and chicken wings (25cent a piece ;-) ). We ended the evening with Honey beer and barbecue chicken wings... awesome!
