MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Temperatures won't feel much like spring, but the Twins are celebrating their home opener Thursday.

Some established favorites have also changed up their menu; Hot Indian Foods, Andrew Zimmern's Canteen, Murray's and Red Cow have new selections.

Also on the boozier side of things, there is a new brunch bloody mary, which is topped with a bacon cheeseburger and a breakfast sandwich and sausage garnishing.
There's a new place for fans to warm up and watch the games. The new area just inside the main gates in right field is called Bat & Barrel. The team reconfigured the Metropolitan Club into a new dining and bar space for all fans. There's a bar and TVs, but the walls are decorated with Twins history, in the form of both player memorabilia as well as murals painted by Adam Turman.
