  • Amazing.

  • How do you do that?

  • did not know those where retractable seats

  • The metrodome kinda stunk for baseball and kinda stunk for football, but it was a pretty good place for both sports....RIP

  • at sunlife stadium (marlins and dofphins) it takes them 6-7 hours but they convert everything, they cover the dirt pits

  • Who won?

  • Too bad they couldn't make a video like this depicting the Oakland Colosieum.

  • Interesting that they don't cover the sliding pits for college football.

  • That's awesome

  • RIP

  • If i wanna see time lapse ill just watch MGM

  • Now Thats the Power of OxyClean!

  • Anyone know why at :48 they put down the Minnesota logo for a few minutes? They didn't seem to paint anything around it and there was still a whole other baseball game to be played before it was converted.

  • @velocity92c I bet it was a practice run or a test. They didn't have a lot of time to fix any mistakes

  • Wow that's cool

  • This was the case before the Twins moved to a giant bullseye.

  • then the dome came down!  luckily no one was there!

  • And then everything collapsed! END OF STORY!

  • This is sweet.

  • This was actually a genuinely interesting video.

  • I love how when it gets exciting everyone stands up and the crowd looks like it's bouncing.

  • Baseball is the slowest, most boring fucking game ever. Even at 100 times the speed it's still boring.

  • Actually, I kinda liked this, I don't care if I shold have been worried about starving children instead.

  • awesome video... just out of curiosity, how many pictures did you use ?

  • @ilovelu It was most likely a set-up camera. :)

  • No wonder the world is so fucked people spend more time throwing things at eachother for mindless competition than helping out eachother. if all this man power were use to give homless children shelter or clean up a impovershed hood. Wow well the stupid shit a unevolved society paticipates in just blows my heart.

  • @TRUTHBETOLD10

    sigh, stfu.. the money used for said events is all made by the same events you turd

  • @TRUTHBETOLD10 Obvious troll is obvious. Pay this person no regard. They are the scum of the internet. Also, "TRUTHBETOLD10", your grammar and spelling skills "blows my heart" (p.s. wtf does "blows my heart" mean anyways? you prick.). That's all folks!

  • @Forston22 why are you cheering for shitty teams????

  • awesome video!

  • impressive.

  • impressive.

  • Well, there goes the dome!!

    Great clip though.

  • that was pretty amazing, thanks for uploading

  • This is awesome I've always wanted to see this.

  • are the vikings ever goin to move outta there my god lol

  • @retroguy1976 they should just be terminated worthless fucks god caved inthe dome sayin you guys FUCKING BLOW

  • Just another 77 hours at the Metro-doom.

  • So they just leave all the baseball markings there? I figured it'd be earier (and cheaper) to do it with just garden-variety sod. That way, they could just peel it up, remove the dirt, then lay down the football sod. I know this is being done at most other arenas, so why is the Metrodome still stuck in the past?

  • That was cool. Thank you for posting!

  • I was there, same day Baker almost threw a perfect game.

  • I'm gonna miss tht stadium

  • the college football game got a bigger crowd than a professional baseball game 0_o

  • Weird how they keep the dirt out there... ?

  • IDK if they will Implode this statium like the kingdome or tear it down like the Astrodome

  • Not sure on that, but I hear there are plans to salvage the teflon roof to stitch up a couple spare pairs if uniform pants for Pat Williams.

  • I always wanted to see how they transition from baseball to football stadium

  • @usbang06 they had a tv show on it so you could see video not picture

  • ya know,at the top or the dome in the middle there is a giant swastika .

  • I seriously don't understand why people hate the metrodome? From my experiences it's a great place to see a game! And the whole no rain/snow outs thing isn't too bad either :)

  • Wow nice vid!

  • Do they keep the upper deck section intact when the Twins are playing selling out or are in the playoffs or do they always put them away.

  • The upper deck is always intact. When the Twins are playing they have that curtain down, but if the Twins make the playoffs they role it up and sell tickets for those seats also. For the Vikes and Gopher games they always have it rolled up though. I think I answered your question.

  • yep thanks. Guess since the twins are moving into their new arena next year there won't be a need to change it anymore unless they have some college baseball team playing there.

  • @SteelCity1981 MN's baseball team would likely play at Target Field, new home of the Twins in 2010.

  • wat r u gais talkin bout dese coments is super smarrt

  • Just reading these comments you can feel the national IQ level slipping about 51%.

  • It goes for most comments and most videos.

  • im pretty sure i was there for the last game of this series

  • This stadium looks almost exactly like B.C. Place stadium.

  • do they have one on

    pro player park and or stadium/ dolphin/dolphinS/ landshark stadium. in miami

  • wow this is really cool

  • You may want to double check your facts. The Twins had a day/night double header on Saturday, May 26th, 2001 against the Oakland Athletics. I know this, because I was at both games, and still have the ticket stubs from those games. They lost game 1 on the double header 5-4, and they were sporting the throwback Washington Senators jerseys. They came back on won game 2, 7-6. Look it up if you don't believe me, but this was definitely NOT the first day/night double header in the history of the dome

  • That was also the only scheduled double header that year. Normally a discouraged practice.

  • Very true. Scheduled or not though, this was definitely not the first. I don't even know if the one back in 2001 was the first or not. It just sticks with me, because I remember going to that one, and it was the beginning of the Twins turning around as a franchise

  • thats just fucknig amazing how they put those seats away after the football game... damn!!!

  • The only thing I will miss about the dome is getting my hat blown off while exiting. That's fuckin it. I really don't care if I have to drag my winter jacket to the April and maybe some of the May games.

  • I was there last summer and all I can say is that it is a TERRIBLE baseball stadium. I'll bet its killer for football though.

  • wow, they turned a baseball stadium into a football stadium preety quickly, jk

  • the only time i'm going to miss the metrodome is during the playoffs. the atmosphere in there is something you cant get anywhere else. 55,000 fans waving homer hankys, and it's loud as hell

  • crap stadium

  • that was fun to see...thanks

  • Too bad the attendance looked pretty bad. Twins are a good team its a shame.

  • Cool Dome Man!!!

  • Give me Dome.

  • Yankees Suck your Dick!!!!! (or lack thereof)

  • At least I can say I have a dick

  • I don't even like the twins! u retard!

  • lol, at lest there in a play off race, looks like hal and hank are just wasting there money

  • um no

  • wow not only are you retarded but your team really sucks!! you have to buy players to be good! we spent 56 million on players and we missed the playoffs by one game, you guys spent over 200 million and missed the playoffs, how fucking embarassing!!!! thats gotta suck knowing you can buy whoever you want and still not make the playoffs, if we had your budget, no doubt about it we would have the best team in baseball!!!it feels better to work for something rather than just pay for it!!

  • at lease we spend our money and always had a nice stadium unlike the metrodome whitch is a pice of shit and ur retarted for likeing a team were the field never gets sonlight the twins home stadium is inside a asshole thats were the sun never shines ha ha ha ha ha and the twins have no money because they suck alot more then the yankees do

  • learn how to spell dumbass!!! HAHAHA how much sonlight does your field get??? its sUnlight dumbfuck!!! you guys should spend money on school not on the shit ass yankees!! they have one of the highest payrolls and you guys STILL SUCKED!!! hahaha thats pretty pathetic lil girl!!!! our owner has double the money as your owner and spends less than half and our team is STILL just as good if not BETTER!!! hahaha thats pretty humiliating!!!! go suck jeters dick and shut up your annoying as fuck!!!

  • get a open stadium asshole stop hiding in a shitty dome the twins stadium is the worse stadium in mlb baseball along with fenway

  • what the fuck are you talking about???? were getting an open stadium you dumbfuck and its gonna be better than your shity fuck new stadium i can gaurentee that!!!!! yankee stadium isn't even in the top 20!!! wrigley field and fenway are WAY better than yankee stadium BY FAR so shut up!!

  • redsoxsuck you know what its idiots like you who give yankee fans like me a bad name

  • i know im a yankee fan dumbass but assholes like you who rub it in peoples face are the people who give us bad names.

  • like u just called me a bad name and ur the dumbass and ur a asshole also

  • You're the one trying to boost your self esteem by trolling the internet... yeah. I'll just leave it at you're both assholes. Have you really been coming to this video for a year just to try and talk shit about the twins? god, you aren't human... and yes i mean that in a bad way.

  • im a mets fan and i agree the yankees have way too many assholes cheering for them.

  • And the Mets don't?

  • Yankee fans give themselves a bad name by being a fan of the most hated team in baseball

  • woooo red sox sweep yankees twice

  • thats because the red sox team is on drugs just like manny 50 game susdpenation he did it w hile on the red sox

  • so u guys got a roid u pay a drug addict too much to play 4 da yankees. and u had giambi..go mets

  • Comment removed

  • at least we dont have a roid

  • at lease we dont have the worse stadium in baseball we have the nicest stadium in baseball

  • ha yankee staium is worse,, they make their fans par like $1000 each game and have bad sightlines. citi is the way better park in the city ,, and wow have u been reading late ly, we dont have shea anymore

  • citi field is a pice of shit and so was shea the old yankee stadium had way more history and the new stadium is going to have even more and the mets charged alot of money for there tickets too retarted and the yankees have their prices 40% because the economy is so bad times are tuff thease days and i went to yankee stadium all ready this year and it was crawed and very nice the nicest stadium in MLB and u cant saying anything bad about it because ur jeluces

  • wow u guys just lost to the toronto blue jays,,sad,, and ONLY THE YANKEES CHARGE $1000  for a seat,, they call that a discount from $2000 in a bad economy

    wow talk about overpricing your fans.. and citi is reasonable and we have a better team that WINS

  • Comment removed

  • Dude the bleacher seats are 15 bucks, and the upper deck is like 20 or 25. Even the second deck has some seats for 50. You're just looking at the unbelievably expensive seats located right near the third and first baseline. The vast majority of the seats aren't nearly that expensive.

  • hahahahaha yankees swept the twins this season twins suck

  • the twins might suck but at least they have decency, unlike the yankees who can just go buy all the talent they want thats why there should be a salary cap in baseball

  • at lease the yankeees can win and we have a nice open stadium unlike urs whitch is really a foorball stadium

  • when you say "nice open air stadium" your absolutely outdoor stadiums suck what if you spend $25 on a ticket and there's a rainout you just wasted $25 dollars that you'll never get back because there is no refunds on tickets

  • no the metrodome is the best stadium in baseball that's why it sucks the twins will be moving out next year :(

  • no it,s the worse because the roof is white and it,s hard to see it when the ball is in the air

  • thats not a bad thing if your a twins fan :) and the roof is good because theres no rainouts or snow outs

  • but on a nice sunny day theres no sunshine so thats a bad thing plus ashrtoturf sucks

  • sunshine is bad

  • ur a lazy ass the sunshine is the way to bring in fans on a nice sunny day the mentrodome sucks balls

  • in Minnesota the sunshine is a way to keep fans away because when its sunny out were dong things like: going on bikes rides, going swimming, hiking or other active things that why were the healthiest state in America

  • wah wah wah then y r u geting a new open air stadium next year u just dont want the twins to leave a shitty dome they dont have a real bullpen their on ashroturf the worse turf ever and they play in the worse stadium in the mlb

  • Are you seriously trying to up your self esteem by talking shit about a stadium that's barely in use now? That turf is a lot better than the literal dried shit you highschool players run through. Outdoor stadiums aren't all that good like you're trying to say. They shoulda added a retractable roof to the new stadium considering what part of the US its in.. If you have an iq above 80 you'd know why.

  • okay. Your iq is probably below freezing point. There's no sunshine when it's sunny... Seriously, get your testicles out of the way of your eyes. Have you even played on astroturf? Can you even spell? I wouldn't be suprised if you've never left your house considering you cant tell sunshine from sunshine.

  • No it's not, its far too big a venue for baseball. next year the twins will get their own stadium which will be meant for baseball and keep them in the city

  • what do you mean "keep the twins in the city" any self respecting twins fan wont want to watch baseball outdoors because that's not what its meant to be in Minnesota, thats why im boycotting the new stadium. ill just watch them on t.v

  • but this viedo is cool

  • also the cubs field is ugly it looks like it was build in the 1800,s at lease yankee stadium has more history then the cubs do we had babe ruth

  • Your just jealous because our stadium has a better history I'm a cubs fan not no yankees fan and by the way wrigley is the greatest even ask mlb fans we had harrey carrey and sosa,grace.

  • o abd by the way the cubs suck 1908 99 years going on 100 years no wsc for the cubs in almost 100 years because that 2003 alcs that teen had to grab that foul ball and so was every one eles but that wasent the reason it was game 6 and the cubs just suck after that or maby that guy was really a cubs hater and was pretending to be a cubs fan maby he was really a brewers fan and maby he cours the cubs for life

  • They had to fix some things in wrigley field.By the way the yankees haven't even been to a world series in like seven years even though they won the most world series I admit they do have some good players.Wrigley is the greatest field because the fan's are so passionate about thier team go cubs.

  • so the cubs havent won it in 100 years at lease the yanks won it 26 times and also a 3 peat 1998 1999 and 2000 and in the past 99 years the cubs suck in the playoffs

  • domes suck and the twins home field is the worse stadium in the mlb and so is fenway park but i reamber that a bring came down in min and they had to cancled the twins royals game that night and they had to play a day night dubble header in a dome that never happens but in 2 years the twins r moving into a new stadium at lease no more ashroturf field they suck and the ball goes flying and it bounces highier thats y domes and ashroturf suck and thats y domes r not popular any more

  • Dude, shut the fuck up. The yanks suck ass. Twins are freaking awesome. Oh by the way learn how to spell. The twins new stadium will be way better than the yanks new stadium.

  • The twins are my american league team and the cubs are my national league team.My dad was at game 7 win kirby puckett won the game in the world series of 1991.

  • I was replying to redsoxsuckhaha.

  • I was agreeing with you the yankees are the worst team.

  • 1908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1901908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1808 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908 1908

  • Yankees Suck Balls.

  • 1908 1908 1908

  • 1908?!?!?!?!

  • 1908 was the last time the the cubs won the world series

  • dude shut the fuck up

  • stop living in the past twins havent been in the world series scince 1991 and the cubs havent been in the ws scince the 1940,s they both suck

  • u shout the fuck up the Metrodome suck ass and so does the twins and so does the Metrodome turf yankee stadium is the best and the new yankee stadium is going to be alot better then the twins new stadium and the new yankee stadium is all ready better then the twins new stadium and at lease yankee stadium is in a open air stadium and all the best players played their and the yanks won 26 world series with the old stadium and their going to win even more in the new including this year

  • the yankees r the harest team to beat and their the best team at coming back and winning the game so go fuck the twins

  • Wow, than the yankees must just suck balls and dick since they dob't like pussie.

  • look the twins suck and so does the Metrodome ok it donest open how can u breath in the Metrodome open air stadiums are alot cooler so shut the fuck up u pussy go fuck ur mother

  • The twins are a better team in every way. At least we don't rely constantly on homeruns all the time to win like the steroid induced yankees. Plus the Twins are getting an open air ballpark in 2010. Which is going to be 1000 times better than the new yankee stadium which opens in 2009.

  • um no the twins r on steroids and the new yankee stadium is going to be 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000 times better then the shitty twins new stadium and the twins new stadium is going to be at a garbage dump and the metrodom sucks dick so shut up ok twins suck and at lease the yankees dont have ashroturf and ashroturf sucks more plays get injured on ashroturf and the new twins stadium is going to be fucking gay just like the metrodome so fuck u

  • what are you four cause thats what it sounds like

  • and u have gay viedos

  • lmfao @ any park topping what the new Yankee Stadium is like. If you think the new Twins stadium is going to be better than the new Yankee Stadium you are nuts. I've been to about half the stadium's in baseball and have been to the new Yankee Stadium. The new Yankee Stadium tops all the stadium's I've ever been to. You are a retard.

  • The new Twins stadium actually looks like it may be the best in baseball. Not the most luxurious, but it will have incredible views and be incredibly intimate with the upper deck cantilevers being much closer than any other park. The surrounding structure and architecture will be very unique vs the ending era of retro parks. Very much a fans' park vs Yankee Stadium being a park for the wealthy.

  • go kill urself there is no point to ur life u fuckin homo. If you hsent noticed MN is buling a brand new open stadium dumbass!! THe twins are 2.5 games way from being in first place stupid ass fuck!!!!!

  • Pretty col how you can see the rolling M during the gophers game.

  • the only thing i like about this stadium is tht u can drink beer durin college football, go badgers!

  • this dome sucks...is too damn loud...nothing compare to my angel stadium of anaheim...lets go angels.....luv my city and luv my stadium...

  • Fuck you..Angels can suck my dick..besides torii hunter

  • yankee stadium is the best stadium in mlb and they have the most history and thats were the all star game is going to be

  • wrigley is the greatest field.

  • no about like 4 years ago it was falling apart and they almost had to tear it down and yankee stadium have the best drings in mlb thats y the yankees can play in down pour rain and anyother teams pretty much cant my red sox and the cubs when their home and it,s raing

  • Amazing! Here Brazilians stadiums are shit!

  • it is so cool at 2:37 when the huge section of seats just folds into the wall

  • 2 questions

    Is it the same amount of time to change over to the Vikings football field.

    How long to convert the football field from the Golden Gophers to Vikings? I would think if all you have to do is change the midfield logo and the words in the end zones and the wall covering surrounding the field, that it wouldn't take long.

  • i love the dome is great. but its time for that new out door park! its going to be awesome cant wait

  • get usto the rain delays and ppo

  • the dome rocks
