Twins, Vikings Dome Dog – Scoreboard Gourmet 0

Posted on February 24, 2010 by Mookie

Dome Dogs are $5. At every game, fans at the Metrodome eat (well, purchase) as many Dome Dogs as regular dogs ($3.50). Brats are $5.25. Here's some cool information:

Twins fans eat more hot dogs when the weather is hot

Twins fans eat more brats when it’s cold (no idea how they can tell once inside the climate-controlled Dome)

Vikings fans are all about brats (the cold outside weather?)

Twins fans eat up until the 8th inning, more or less continuously throughout the game

Vikings fans only leave their seats during game breaks

Vikings fans stop eating when beer sales stop

Dome Dog Conspiracy 2010 0

The Dome Dog, a staple food for many a Twins fan, won’t be moving to the team's new open-air stadium at Target Field.

Austin-based Hormel Foods Corp. and the Minnesota Twins say Wednesday they have parted ways amicably.

Hormel has sold hot dogs at Twins games for much of the past decade, and offered many promotions, including Dollar-A-Dog Night on Wednesdays and the Hormel Hot Dog Row of Fame — where those seated in that row got free hot dogs.

Hormel spokeswoman Julie Craven says the company decided to stop providing hot dogs at Twins games after reviewing the change in cost for sponsorships at the new stadium.

Some concession stands at Target Field will have different themes. Other concessions will include local flavor, including a steak sandwich from Murray's and State Fair-style walleye on a stick.
