The Metrodome, Minneapolis Minnesota, Home of the Twins

On Wednesday September 1, 2007 the I35W bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, MN killing 5 people. This bridge is less than a mile from the Metrodome, which is where we were just 2 days later to see the Twins take on the Indians.

We had a nice walk .3 miles each way from the Best Western Hotel to the Game. The pitching matchup was Johann Santana vs. CC Sabathia. CC got the best of Santana, and the Indians won 5-2
