View From Ox Cart Rooftop

Looking east from the Ox Cart Rooftop you can see quite a bit. CHS Field, Interstate 94, Metro State. 

Kenny Chesney At US Bank Stadium

It was a great show at US Bank Stadium a couple weekends ago at the Kenny Chesney concert at US Bank Stadium. We purchased tickets back in March or April to the Sandbar section, which were general admission section, and right next to the stage. The show was supposed to take place in 2020, but was postponed, like many shows until 2022. I'm just glad we didn't have to wait three years to see him perform.

Old Dominion At US Bank Stadium

Last year in 2021, the song 'I Was On A Boat That Day' by Old Dominion was me and my wife's theme song for the summer. To see them sing it live was quite a treat. We certainly would see them again if they return as the headliner. They opened for Kenny Chesney with a couple other bands. 

East Side of US Bank Stadium

It's an odd duck of a stadium, artistically pleasing, and yet really difficult to photograph. I've only captured a couple of photos of the new US Bank Stadium, and haven't felt I captured it well. Maybe it's the size of the structure, or I'm always on my way in to the stadium and don't take my time. 

Inside US Bank Stadium

A friend of mine sent this photo to me, it was his last day working at the stadium. At first I thought it was an empty stadium, however, as I was just about to post this, I noticed there is one person in the photo. Do you see them now?

Out In Left Field

If you've been to Midway Stadium, the old home of the Saint Paul Saints, I get the same vibe from, the new stadium, CHS Field. Well, I do recall a hot tub and train tracks, which the new stadium doesn't have. Plus there weren't any seats for fans in the outfield. So there are some differences. 

CHS Field

Home of the Saint Paul Saints Baseball team. I made my first visit to CHS Field, their new stadium and loved it. It did have a similar vibe of their old stadium location. Though, I cannot wait to return for more outdoor baseball, just unsure why it took me so long to get here. 

Home Of The Minnesota Wild

The Minnesota Wild hockey season has once again started up for the 2014-2015 season. Snapped this photo a couple weeks ago before one of the Wild vs Winnipeg Jets preseason game.

Spring Training

It's almost here, hopefully our weather warms above freezing temps for the first game this year.

Outside View

We are outside Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins.

Gopher Football

Made it to my first football game at the TCF Bank Stadium this past Saturday. The Golden Gophers squared off against the Syracuse Orangemen. The Gophers were victorious by a score of 17-10 and have a 4-0 non-conference record.

Green Stripes

The field is striped and ready for play.

Outside Target Field

I'm outside the first base line seats seats at the Twin new stadium.

Mariucci Arena

It's hard to believe Mariucci Arena opened in 1993 and I had never stepped foot inside of the building until 2012! What a great looking arena it is. Very open, easy to get into your seats, not a bad seat in the house for that matter. I had been inside the old arena, several times, when it was attached to the Barn [Williams Arena]. I'm not sure what took so long for me to go, perhaps it is because tickets are so hard to get, but I will return much sooner in the future. Mariucci Arena is home to the Minnesota Gophers hockey team.

Return Of Randy Moss

My wife had surprised me over the summer by purchasing tickets for the Minnesota Vikings versus Dallas Cowboys football game. Little did we know we would be there for Randy Moss's return in a Vikings uniform. There was a lot of excitement for Moss today. Lots of number 84 jerseys and the crowd even chanted his name during the TV timeout at the start of the game. The Vikings were the victor by a score of 24-21.

Painted Purple

If you've visited the Metrodome in the past, or at least prior to the Minnesota Twins leaving the stadium, you may recall the support beams were painted red. Now that the stadium is solely the Vikings stadium, the dome has had a makeover. The beams, railings, doors, some of the walls are now Vikings purple in color. There has been quite a bit of changes made, which makes me wonder why the need for a new stadium now?

Refresh

The ground crew at Target Field smooths out the infield dirt between innings at the Minnesota Twins game.

The New View

The Minnesota Twins have played half of the 2010 baseball season and I'm still finding my self in awe of the view from inside Target Field. We've been inside the Metrodome for so long, going to the new stadium, I felt like I was visiting from out of state. You know what I mean?
