Minneapolis' Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome has been partially demolished. The building will be gone before football resumes in September. The dome hosted both the Minnesota Vikings and Twins for numerous years. The stadium opened in 1982. The Minnesota Twins played there until 2009 and the Vikings claimed it as their home since it opened. The Twins already built their new stadium and the city will host the midsummer classic, the Major League Baseball all star game at Target Field on July 15, 2014. However the Vikings don't have a new stadium to play in for the 2014-15 season. They will play at the University of Minnesota field where the Vikings hosted the Chicago Bears when the Metrodome roof caved in after snowfall in December 2010.
