The Minnesota Twins don't have to play in the Metrodome beyond the 2006 season, a judge ruled Monday in a decision that could increase pressure on lawmakers to approve a financing plan for a new ballpark. Hennepin County District Judge Charles Porter Jr. sided with the baseball team in a lawsuit against its public landlord. The ruling gives franchise owner Carl Pohlad more power to move his team, although no city is publicly courting the Twins. Porter ruled that the Twins lease expired in 2003. Twins attorney Roger Magnuson said the team wants to stay. "The purpose of this was not simply to clear the way for getting out of town," he said. "The Twins have been trying every possible way to get a suitable venue."
