Trivia

* Dave Kingman of the Oakland Athletics in 1984, apparently hit a ball up into one of the roof's drainage holes. There are different tales about whether the ball actually came down or not. One rumor apparently had the ball coming down, and consequently being sent to Cooperstown.
* In 1986, a severe thunderstorm outside the Metrodome during a Twins game had winds of up to 65 mph. Near the bottom of the fifth inning, the wind tore a hole in the roof on the third base side of the stadium.
