Will There Be a Game Today?

The Twins are scheduled to play Detroit tonight, but there is an Air Quality Alert. The current air quality in Minneapolis is 131 and the Air Quality Alert is in effect until 6 AM on Friday morning. I don't know what the levels were when games were postponed last week, but these numbers are not conducive to enjoying a baseball game outdoors.

Seems to me that it was worse yesterday, than it is so far today. There's a nice breeze blowing right now and it doesn't seem too smokey. It's noticeable, but not real thick yet. I'm south of the cities. I hope they play tonight.

I would say the same thing, a bit NW of the Cities.

Yes, it’s definitely better today than it was yesterday afternoon. That doesn’t mean it’s good for physical exertion, of course.

I attended yesterday’s game.   The Twins won and it was still misery.   Hazy should be left to Hazy IPAs.

According to a Dan Hayes tweet, the AQI was at 178 when the game ended yesterday, and 271 last evening, so 131 is better than yesterday it appears. I don't know what it's expected to be like later today.

I was at the game, and I didn't really notice the smoke beyond the visual, but it was still uncomfortable with the heat and humidity.

I'm at the lake in Northern Minnesota  and it is alot better air  than the haze we had yesterday  , it was thick haze yesterday and very clear here today , wind seems to be out of the east here for now  ...

Now I don't know if the twins will come to play but they most certainly should take the field  ...

AQI is in the 70's in the western suburbs as I post this. It seems that the nasty stuff is moving out of the Twin Cities region so there should be no problem with that for tonight.

Do we have an official answer?

I vote for there not being a game last night! Not official, but it's the best I can come up with.
