Members of the Minnesota Twins share their thoughts on the closing of the Metrodome

The Minnesota Vikings narrow 14-13 victory over the Detroit Lions on December 29, 2013 signaled the final game in the 31-year history of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minnesota. My lasting memory of the Metrodome was Kirby Puckett circling the bases in the 11th inning of Game Six of the 1991 World Series, while Jack Buck screamed, "We'll see you tomorrow night!"

2006 I was 23 yrs old, 2 weeks in MLB. Johan Santana on mound for game 1 of ALDS. A moment I'll never forget. That said; blow the place up.

Twins lost their final games at the Met and the Dome, Vikes their final game at the Met. Finally, a fond farewell.
