I live about 45 mins from Principal Park. Have never been there but I am thinking this summer I might take my daughter to an I-Cubs game and also drive to Cedar Rapids to see a Kernels game. Took her to Target Field but I wish she could have experienced the Dome. Funny thing is very first hit at Target field, we had a foul ball go about 10 rows over our head and to the left of us. So she had a great experience there lol that and also she got to watch the Bomba squad hit a few homeruns out and see the fireworks, but I do miss the Dome.
I also do remember the WGN on cable back in the day lol. I think in the morning they use to have Bozo the clown show on lol.
BTW was that 2 hours and 45 mins or 2 mins and 45 seconds? Because I know in Minnesota, that could stand for both lol. I was about 55 mins South from Bloomington when I lived up there. But by the time I was old enough to head to the Twin Cities, the MOA was already there and I vaguely remember the met center.
Funny that we are both transplants in Iowa lol.

2 hours 45 minutes. Not a transplant to Iowa, I've always lived here. Located in the NW part of the state making it an easy drive through Mankato to the cities. Or can go 90 over to 35 and up in about the same time but approx 15 additional miles. But then going that way means not slowing for any towns like St Peter, Shakopee, Savage etc.
If I'm not in a hurry the scenic route is nice but... most of the time I just like to roll along. So I mostly go to 35
