You Want To See The Metrodome Implode?

[Parker Hageman]

In a weird broadcast moment, New England Sports Network out of Boston opted to combine the Metrodome with the Kingdome in Seattle's explosion in order to simulate an event never happened during the Twins and Red Sox series. Screengrabber shared the video from the broadcast. 

 

While the usage of the video was weird to say the least, the source, says Deadspin, came from a Chicago White Sox broadcast from 2013 in which Hawk Harrelson had a fictional dream sequence that involved blowing up the former Twins home field. Not sure which is more bizarre.

 

As a reminder, here's how the real dismantle happened:

I'd like to see the Metrodome spontaneously combust.

 

And after that, Target Field could fall prey to a bizarre gardening accident.

That's a sad, sad video.

Deadspin found the source of the Metrodome video -- it stems from a Hawk Harrelson "dream sequence" from 2013:

 

Update (3:10 p.m.): Several people tweeted at us that the video NESN aired was actually a Hawk Harrelson dream sequence. That sounded impossible, but we found it. From the White Sox broadcast of a game against the Twins on August 11, 2013: http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/red-sox-broadcast-airs-video-of-metrodome-implosion-tha-1707488273?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow
