Chicago's Wrigley Field is famous for not just the Cubs games and pre-pandemic concerts that happened there, but also for the homes around the park where people host parties on game days.
Diehard Twins fan Adam Grahek wanted to replicate that experience in Minnesota when he and his wife, Christina, bought a condo in Minneapolis two years ago.
Their top-floor unit is northeast of Target Field, where the Twins play, with sightlines to the scoreboard. It's not close enough to catch home run balls like they do in Chicago, but he still can soak up the action and the sounds bubbling up from the games.
"It's been amazing to hear the fireworks go off when the Twins win or somebody hits a home run," he said. "There's a delay on the TV, so we get to see it before it's broadcast."
Alas, the Graheks have to give up their treasured unit. The couple — he's from the Iron Range and she's a converted Yankees fan from Wallingford, Conn. — have two dogs, a German shepherd pup named Ranger and an Alaskan Husky named Kaya.
They want to get a backyard for their pooches to romp.
"We take them to the dog park and for walks along the Mississippi, but we want them to have a little more space," Adam said.
They also are thinking about starting a family.
