This Redistribution of Fans is Trickier Than I Thought

The Star-Tribune details the planning going on to move people in and out of the Twins new stadium:

The new Ballpark Implementation Committee, which was created to oversee infrastructure issues at the stadium, has met twice, but officials from Hines Interests, the Texas company that has plans to develop much of the area around the ballpark, have not attended.

"No one's in charge," said Chuck Leer, a developer who headed a team that recommended a series of design guidelines for the stadium and surrounding area.

"The irony about this is everybody says this can't be another Metrodome. Some of the things are better at the Metrodome."

"If you go to a Cubs game in Chicago, you know that if you take a train 15 minutes before the game, it's going to be more crowded," he said. "Fans will get that. It's part of the experience, and it works. It's worked in Chicago."

Twins fever - Catch it from the guy who had two brats and three beers at the game you're squeezed up against for the train ride home!
