After their relocation to the Gopher State after the 1960 season, the Twins played at Metropolitan Stadium, which was a pretty natural grass field located in suburban Bloomington. Unfortunately Minnesota is not noted for pleasant weather conditions particularly in Spring or Autumn, and so a new indoor park was built in downtown Minneapolis called the Hubert H.

Each time they had home field advantage and won all 4 games at home, while losing the three games at the National League park.
