"You talk about the magic, the aura, but what really makes a stadium is the fans. Concrete doesn't talk back to you. Chairs don't talk back to you.

Paradise? Not from these seats.    The pink thing is a mascot. (Actually, with a damn fine mascot actor underneath.)  The pouring is taking place at the very bottom of this photo.

The wall is pretty high up there, so you'll need something to stand on, but it appears that this is one of the so-called "knotholes".   Sue Nelson, and her organ, in one of the Twins Pubs   The finished product.  Tickets!  I realized I've never shown how the walkway over Seventh Street meets the A ramp  The Metrodome hot dog vendor. (Source: RP)  The past is the future. Seriously.  Sure would be nice to cover that metal grid with more wooden louvers, eh?  The Guthrie Theater's Wurtele Thrust Stage seating  Because of the scale, it's sometimes hard to realize that there are actual guys down there doing the tough work! Here they are getting ready to pour a footing.  Detail of the train tunnels (click to view the entire drawing)   This was on BPM night. Nice neon, but I'm still waiting to see the homer show.   This is as close as I could get to a pedestrian-eye view of the main entrance. This is what you'll see as you enter by coming down Sixth Street.
