Over the next 48 hours, the sports world’s attention will be keenly focused on Minnesota, in a way that even the World Series cannot duplicate.

Tonight, as the entire Midwest holds its collective breath, Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. this quirk of scheduling fortune brought about the need to move the play-in game between the Twins & Tigers to Tuesday.

If the Tigers win, this will be the last major league game in the HHH Dome, and outside of a mirtacuous Twins romp through the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels and the World Series, I can’t think of a better way to close it out.

When the doors do finally close on the Homerdome, and the official countdown clock towards the bran new Target Field begins, one way or another, we’re going to miss the “old girl”..  Hefty Bag and all.
