Metropolitan Stadium, Baseball stadium in Bloomington, United States
Metropolitan Stadium contained three tiers of grandstands extending from behind home plate with white metal structures rising against the Minnesota sky.
The stadium opened in 1956 as home to the Minneapolis Millers before becoming the residence of the Minnesota Twins from 1961 to 1981.
This outdoor venue brought Major League Baseball to Minnesota, transforming the region into a professional sports destination for the first time.
The location between Minneapolis and Saint Paul provided access to 18,200 seats through multiple entrances and large surrounding parking areas.
The Mall of America now stands where Metropolitan Stadium once operated, with a red seat marking the landing spot of Harmon Killebrew's 520-foot home run.
