Friday afternoon 4/16 was the afternoon most of us had been waiting for the last month. We finally got to go to the Twins game at the Target Field!! This was a recruiting event so between IRE students and faculty, friends, ICC students and faculty, and next year's IRE students there were around 100 of us that went. Early Friday afternoon all IRE students drove down to Grand Rapids and got on two charter buses with the ICC student's. When we arrived everyone got matching 2010 Twins shirts that were designed by one of the IRE students, Deric Phillips. From there we took off to the Twin Cities. Driving in, the field was just as amazing as we had all remembered it when we got a tour of the stadium a few months prior. We even arrived in Minneapolis with a few hours to spare. So everyone broke up into groups and went their separate ways. Most people went out to eat at numerous places while many stayed around the stadium and oo'd and aww'd at all its wonders. The first pitch was thrown by Scott Baker at 7:10. There seemed to be no bad seats in the stadium, as of how the architecture of the building was made. It was a great three and half hours of baseball, with much excitement and a great crowd! We beat Kansas City that night 10-3. Everyone had a great time and the stadium was amazing! I hope and believe this was a great recruiting event that can happen for many years to come.
