Batgirl's Stadium Policy

Well, not so much a policy, really, as an opinion. For Batgirl feels she's been sending out conflicting messages on this whole stadium brouhaha and she would like to clarify.

1) In her previous entry, Batgirl implied the Metrodome was a shithole. This is not fair. The Metrodome is a shit heap.

2) Batgirl wants a new ballpark. She wants a retractable roof (sorry Twins Geek), seats that don't cause intense physical pain, and vegetarian food options. Preferably delicious ones.

3) Batgirl believes cities should invest in themselves. Art, education, business, entertainment, clean sidewalks, well-paid bloggers--all this makes for a better community, and a better community makes for a happy Batgirl.

4) All this would put Batgirl pro public financing, and indeed she is. But she despises the blackmail that is MLB's modus operandi. And even more than that, she despises the way ownership has treated the fans over the last decade, and all this build-one-or-else makes Batgirl throw up in her mouth a little.

So, where does that leave us? Now Batgirl sits at the Metrodome sundeprived, in need of major chiropractic attention, and extremely hungry while the Twins continue to play in a sh*theap/hole. Ownership needs to rebuild its relationship with the fans (she knows the Eloise Pohlad Ballpark isn't going to happen, but that's still Batgirl's favorite solution) and stop with the blackmail, and the community needs to lighten up a bit. Or else Batgirl needs to win the lottery and build the Corey Koskie Memorial Stadium. Either way.
