Limited Edition printed Metrodome roof pieces to honor the anniversaries of 1987 and 1991 Minnesota Twins World Series Champions

The new roof of the Metrodome was finally completed in July of 2011 at a cost of $20+ million. The collapse of the old Metrodome roof happened on December 12th, 2010. The Metrodome roof collapse video was one of the top 5 most watched sports videos in the first part of 2011. In fact, over 10 million views have been recorded on various websites including this site on Youtube recorded over 5,200,000 alone and can be seen here at www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAyLX2hY7E0.

Now that the roof has been torn down, there has been a strong national interest in capturing a piece of the old Metrodome roof and it is highly valued as a historic piece of Minnesota sports history. Thousands have gone in search of a piece of the roof to treasure in their sports bar, sports room, man caves and offices or to buy as that unique and special gift for their favorite Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings or Minnesota Gophers fan.

A highly publicized and anticipated open house was held at the Metrodome for fans to see the new Metrodome roof and new turf and were given full access throughout the facility. A promotion was held for the first 3,000 to receive a free sample of the Metrodome roof. Thousands showed up from around the 4 state region and not everyone was lucky enough to receive a piece of the historic roof that has housed the 1987 Minnesota Twins World Champions, 1991 Minnesota Twins World Champions, 1992 Super Bowl, 1985 All Star Game, 1992 and 2001 NCAA Final Four,Cal Ripken's, Eddie Murray and Dave Windfield's 3,000th hit, Adrian Peterson's NFL single game rushing record and more.

Probably the two most memorable and world famous sporting events played at the Metrodome were the 1987 World Series and the 1991 World Series.

According to MLB.com,The 1987 World Series between the Twins and Cardinals brought a whole new meaning to the term "home-field advantage." It marked the first time that the home team won all of its games in a series. It was also the first time that World Series games were played indoors, at Minnesota's Metrodome. Scores, highlights and videos can be seen on MLB.com.

Also, according to ESPN.com, one of the greatest homeruns ever hit in baseball history was hit in the Metrodome in 1991. Kirby Pucket hit #11 on ESPN's Greatest Homeruns of All Time list, when he hit the game winner in the 11th inning in game 6 of the 1991 World Series.
