Looks like there will be some changes for Twins fans at Target Field next year:
Hormel, whose hot dogs have been a beloved dining option at the Metrodome, will no longer supply them for the team, Twins and Hormel officials said Wednesday. Of the 1.1 million sausages sold at Twins games last year, nearly 400,000 were Dome Dogs, more than any other single sausage product.
Not sure what the back story is here but color me surprised. If any of you readers out there still have some Hormel contacts and find out, please let us know what happened. I'll sure miss this song though:
Oh oh if you are at the game
And you're in Hormel's Row of Fame
Then you are in a lucky seat
You'll win a Hormel hot dog treat
Great for lunch, great for dinner
You will be a wiener winner!
At the Hormel Row of Fame...
The new food options sound interesting:
The new ballpark will have the usual fare, including nachos, popcorn and peanuts. And Target Field has announced it will serve some other local favorites, including Juicy Lucy burgers, Murray's steak sandwiches, Kramarczuk's sausages, walleye-on-a-stick and pork-chop-on-a-stick.
Who else is ready for some outdoor baseball?

Boo! Frankly (har!), that stinks. There's a lot of things I won't miss about the Dome, but the Hormel Row Of Fame should have been brought over.
Heard on the news yesterday: The Twins were asking for an enormous price hike from the Hormel company to be the sole provider of the Dome Dogs, so they opted out. Too bad. You can still buy the delicious Hormel products at your local grocers, however!
