| Twins To Add Stone Accents To New Ballpark |
The Twins Friday said that they have "decided to add stone accents to the interior" of their new ballpark, "including on the facade of a planned right field porch," according to Heron Marquez Estrada of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE. The porch, "with several rows of seating, will hang out over the field," and the facade "bearing the rough-cut stone, about 90 feet long and several feet high, will be in play." Twins Sports President Jerry Bell said that stone accents also "will be added to the dugouts behind the benches and on the wall behind home plate." Estrada noted the additional stone "was requested by [Twins Owners the] Pohlad family recently to add to the character of the stadium." Bell said that the color of the 40,000 seats inside the stadium will be "dark, or forest, green" (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 8/16). Meanwhile, "due to demand, the Twins will add seven private suites to their ballpark that is scheduled to open in 2010, bringing the total to 60" (ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS, 8/19).
