Do the Minnesota Twins deserve a new stadium even though they haven't won a championship since '91?

People often get these kinds of taxes mixed up.  It is a special allotment that MUST be approved by taxpayers as an ADDITIONAL tax on a special proposition.  If they don't approve it, then so be it, taxpayers can contribute it in other ways.\n\nSpeaking just to the stadium system, I think it's fine the way it is and I actually think it works to the team's benefit.  The roof is one of a kind and makes the stadium special.  Who wants a stadium that looks like everyone else's?

you should put a public notice in the Chicago Sun times with this exact notion of yours---brilliant!!! people from all over Chicagoland--and beyond-- will line up to sign your "petition"! if you go ahead with your idea, watch it--you might see people in their graves coming up from the dead waiting to join you in your quest for some kind of compensation.so many folks since 1908 have been waiting for the Cubs  to do something like what the white sox did last year. I always think they should eliminate the organization and start a new franchise elsewhere. good luck, inspired one!

There's already been a lot of speculation about a new franchise starting up, or moving to Las Vegas.  While I live in NJ, Las Vegas is the perfect spot for a major league team.  There is a booming population there and they would have plenty of filled seats from hotels buying packages of seats and giving them to their high rollers.  From a business standpoint, it is the best possible option.

They have the market again, and either have or are building an arena facility that would be able to house another NHL franchise.  I feel they are a great option because of the lack of attendence in many US cities.

portland or orlando will not move....look at like Atlanta, Minnesota (if KG leaves...no one will go..trust me, I live here), or the Clippers (even if they are winning this year). But yes, I think St. Louis deserves a team more then the Hawks and the Clippers

I do.  They later became the Cleveland Barons, who merged with the Minnesota Northstars, who became the Dallas Stars I believe 15 years ago.

Same city with 2 champs is rare. Don't see it happening this year.

No, not with Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau owning everyone. The only problem is the White Sox and the Tigers keep winning so our bad start is haunting us. Go Twins!

YES! Beyond a shadow of any doubt whatsoever! Right On Dude for speaking your mind and telling it like it is! I mean, like seriously, 14 years is a long time to sit on your butt and not do anything to improve a team that was in bad shape. Now, because of mike ilitch, The Tigers are the laughing stock of Major League Baseball. What really cracks me up is that he says he cares--PHOOOEY!\n\nYeah right, he cares---more about the stupid deadwings!\n\nAnd dont give me this crap that he built Comerica Park either. We all know why he built it (look at where it is located, and tell me he is NOT a selfish greedy punk!)\n\nAll I can say is I will be glad to see him vacant 2100 woodward ave FOR GOOD!

Definately!  It would also be nice if they put lights in and had a night race.  Did you know they are adding more seating this year?  Looks like our Kansas Speedway is movin' on up!

It's a cool stadium. I like the facts that there are bigger legrooms, better angles which enhances the view of the field from the seats, hall of fame and the Jackie Robinson rotunda. What I'm not too crazy about is the name. I'd love for it to still be called Shea. It's just so much easier to pronounce and sounds cooler. I mean, a person can just say Shea and everybody will know what they're talkin' about but if a person just say Citi, nobody will have any idea what they're talkin' about unless they say the whole thing. But hey, they're paying the Mets $20 million a year for the naming rights so I hope the Mets will benefit greatly from that. I think I'll miss Shea. It may be an old stadium but Shea is still Shea.

No, why should they leave? The Superdome will be ready for them next year, so what's the problem?

Houston's Stadium is SWEET!!!!\n\nBut the new stadium that the Cowboys are building will TOTALLY outdo any current stadium.

First thing I'd do...get an American ownership!  The owner never ever been to the stadium to see them play one game.\n\nWe need local ownership: Paul Allen if you are reading this....\n\nSecond: Fire that manager, and get lou back!  The team wants "yes men" and "do gooders" coaches and players that won't make waves...well they cant swing bats either....\n\nSo, don't hold your breath.  Or you should because:\n\nWE STINK UP THE PLACE!!

Not this year. Been awhile since the Tigers have won anything.

I want to be a homer and say PNC Park in Pittsburgh.  It is quite a small, beautiful ballpark.  Bud Selig seemed to admire it enough to bring the All Star Game back here just 12 years since we hosted it last.  And while PNC doesn't hold the same historical significance as Fenway, Wrigley, or Yankee Stadium, the tickets are dirt cheap.  I have had 9 dollar seats, 26 dollar seats, and 250 dollar seats, and the view from all of them are breathtaking.  Maybe not one of the best of all time, but the best of the new ballparks.
