So it looks like this tournament is played indoors at the new Vikings Football Stadium (US Bank)....not outside at Target Field....they must be able to move the seats back and have a configuration for baseball because the Dairy Queen Classic is listed as an event on the US Bank Stadium website....we play Minnesota on Friday night, Iowa on Saturday afternoon and Hawaii on Sunday morning....should be an interesting tournament and the way that ORU is playing, we surely have a chance to win it.....:eagles:

Here is a link to an article that shows several different photos and a little video of a game being played there.  The University of Minnesota just played their first game there (ever) last Friday.  That yellow line about 2/3 of the way up the right field wall is the home run line.  The dugouts are interesting and the bullpen appears to be tucked way down the left field line.  Apparently no seating is allowed in the outfield, even though there are apparently no barriers to prevent you from sitting out there.

Even though the writer of this article is fairly critical of the baseball layout, for the day games, having the natural light come through the roof is very cool.  It is an impressive stadium and it should be a lot of fun for the team.

indoor baseball in Minnesota makes me think of the Hefty Bag wall....they should put one up in the outfield for old times sake.

I just realized there's no dirt on that playing surface in the above picture. Not even sliding pits like in the old indoor stadiums.
