Target Field opens on chilly, lovely night

Target Field opened yesterday with a big bang, giving Twins baseball fans outdoor baseball for the first time since 1981. On a cool evening when rain threatened to wipe out the proceedings, the weather gods smiled on the proceedings and diverted a storm system to the east, paving the way for outdoor baseball. A near-sellout crowd was thankful. We'll have full stories on Sunday and Monday, but for now here's a sneak photo or two of the proceedings.Target Field opened yesterday with a big bang, giving Twins baseball fans outdoor baseball for the first time since 1981.
