00:00--:--

MPR’s Tom Scheck reports that Hennepin County District Judge Harry Crump says he'll announce soon whether he'll require the Twins to play baseball in the Metrodome next year (2002). Crump heard arguments from the the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, the Attorney General's office, and the Minnesota Twins.

The commission filed suit last week after Major League Baseball's owners announced they would eliminate two teams before next season. The Twins are a top candidate for contraction, but the Sports Facilities Commission argues the Twins have signed a contract that requires the team to play in the Metrodome next year.
