YYYEEEESSSSSSSSS!!! Hots dogs....I am for sure re-signing now!
Wow!!! What a news day! The Minnesota Twins have announced the new hot dog to be served at Target Field will be local weiners, Schwiegert Hot Dogs! Sorry, no more Hormel dogs. Thankful college students everywhere are happy to hear $1 Dog night will be retained in the move to Target Field. And a new and expanded hot dog menu will welcome fans on the Twins home opener!
(From StarTribune.com)
Minnesota-made Schweigert hot dogs, a fan favorite when the Twins last played home games outside, has been chosen for the soon-to-be-inaugurated Target Field.
The team also said that Dollar-A Dog Days will continue, moving from Wednesdays to Mondays (except for Opening Day).
Twins officials said that four different Schweigert dogs are filling the void left after the Twins announced late last month that Dome Dogs, made by Austin-based Hormel, were going the way of the Metrodome:
Original Twins Dog: A traditional pork and beef hot dog, it will be made from the same recipe as the ones served in the team’s first ballpark – Metropolitan Stadium – and will be available at many of the park’s concession stands.
Twins Big Dog: The quarter-pound all-beef dog will officially replace the Dome Dog and will be served at portable grills and select concessions stands. As with the Dome Dog, chips are included.
Dugout Dog: An old-fashion pork and beef hot dog in a natural casing, it will be sold in the stands by retro-attired vendors. The dogs will be steamed in vending boxes and placed in a bun when ordered, not pre-wrapped.
Dinger Dog: This extra-long pork and beef dog will also be available at select Hennepin Grille locations at Target Field…..
