THE GREAT OUTDOORS? TWINS SEEK TO MOVE SOME GAMES OUTSIDE

          Twins CEO Chris Clouser is "looking at the possibility
     of his team playing one outdoor series this season at a
     temporary stadium in Bloomington, St. Paul or Minneapolis,"
     according to Sid Hartman of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE. 
     Clouser said that he would "like to give the public the
     taste of outdoor baseball this year in a weekend series that
     could draw 20,000 to 25,000 a game."  Clouser: "A guy has
     approached us about building a temporary outdoor baseball
     facility.  What I think it might do is bring some excitement
     to a weekend series.  We're just going to look at the
     possibility and feasibility to do it."  More Clouser: "We
     have found in our preliminary talks that there are some
     people who would like to sponsor such a game.  And we're
     looking at possible locations" (STAR TRIBUNE, 7/15).  In St.
     Paul, Charley Walters: "There is virtually no chance [MLB]
     would approve an outdoor game for the Twins in a makeshift
     stadium this season" (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 7/16).
