The document discusses Target Field, the home stadium of the Minnesota Twins baseball team. It notes that outsiders may see fans as indifferent but they are just happy to be looking at the green grass. It also mentions that the stadium received LEED Silver certification, was built on a dense urban site, and over 40% of fans arrive via public transportation. The grass is kept above 36 degrees through a 41 mile tubing system heated by a nearby power plant so that games can be played.
