Twins New Open-Air Ballyard Promises Fun Aprils Ahead

Every time I check the Minnesota Twins ballpark construction cam, there is snow on the ground. And I do mean every time. As of 10:14 a.m. local time, snow was scattered about and the temperature was 6 degrees in Minneapolis. When the Twinkies begin play in the ballpark in 2010, there may be some interesting Aprils in that place. You can view the construction cam here.

Here is a video report from KARE 11 showing construction workers pouring the ballpark's first concrete on a cold late January day. The temperature was minus 4 degrees when the crews began the process at 6 a.m.

Under Construction: Nationals Ballpark

Psssst! I've said twice already that I'm finished posting today, but I wanted to share one more thing before getting ready for tonight's indoor football game in Minnesota. It's the Web construction cam for the Washington Nationals new ballpark. You can view today's lastest shot here and see the green outfield grass. The infield is covered with a tarp. The photo above is from a Dec. 6 snow that fell on the construction site and the District area. That's it. Good night.
