Metropolitan Stadium (often referred to as "the Met") was a sports stadium that once stood in Bloomington, Minnesota, just outside Minneapolis.It opened in 1956 as the home of a minor league baseball team, the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association, replacing ancient Nicollet Park and built to major league specifications. Although located in Bloomington, the stadium was paid for by the city of Minneapolis. It sat in the middle of a 161-acre plot located in a cornfield, with all excess land set aside for parking. It originally seated 18,000, and would have seated more if not for an explosion and two fires. It was expanded to 22,000 in 1959.
