Broadcast: Midday, 08/07/2006, 11:06 a.m.

Listen to program

The broad outlines have all been decided. The Minnesota Twins will get a new stadium. It will be in downtown Minneapolis' Warehouse District. It will be partially financed by a 0.15 percent sales tax hike in Hennepin County. Now it's time to start working out the details.

Guests

  • Dan Kenney: Executive director of the Minnesota Ballpark Authority, which will oversee the construction and operation of the new Twins ballpark. Kenney is leaving his job as an aide to Hennepin County Commissioner Mike Opat, who spearheaded the Twins stadium plan, to take the position with the new ballpark authority. Kenney will also give up his membership in the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, which owns the Metrodome.
