Legovision park is a reality. Batgirl's chiropractor bills are going to go wayyy down. I don't know if I ever thought this was actually going to happen but Batgirl for one is looking forward to catching opening day 2010 on a grass field with the sun overhead. (Though, frankly, she'd be pretty happy if someone chipped in for a retractable roof.) Lots of people have worked very hard for this, and Jerry Bell should be given some sort of medal of freedom, or at least a long nap. Batgirl hopes Shane at Greet Machine keeps up his excellent stadium blogging so we can follow the construction. As kw says in the comments below, "Twins 2010: Our Ass is Grass."

Meanwhile, bubblemint sends in this triumphant verse, to be sung to "We Are the Champions." She expects the whole front office to be singing it and dousing each other with beer and champagne today.

We’ve paid to go
Year after year
We’ve bought our tickets
And our Dome dogs & beer
We had no choice
Those Vikes made it clear
We’ve watched our baseball team play ‘neath a roof
But deliverance is near…
We will soon be seeing sun and clouds and birds and planes…
We’ll have a stadium, my friends
Yes, we kept on fighting to the end
We’ll have a stadium
We’ll have a stadium
It took forever,
But we’ll have a stadium …finally…
The Dome’s been our home
More than twenty four years
We have seen championship teams
And last place finishes
Triumphs and tears
Though our wait isn’t over
It’ll still take some time
But in a few years we’ll be watching Twins baseball under bright open skies
And the homeruns will fly on and on and on and on…
We’ll have a stadium, my friends
Yes, we kept on fighting to the end
We’ll have a stadium
We’ll have a stadium
It took forever,
But we’ll have a stadium …finally…
