On Tuesday a Hennepin County district judge ruled that the Twins do not have to play at the Metrodome beyond the 2006 season.

Does this ruling put more pressure on legislators to approve last year's Hennepin County deal that would fund a stadium from an increase in the sales tax in the county?

If the Twins decided to leave Metrodome, would they leave the region? Where would they go? All Things Considered host Tom Crann talked with Aron Kahn, who covers the business of sports for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
