From the skyway, the opening of the controversial open-air Target Field was a muted spectacle. On the ground it was the State Fair without the odors. After the opening it wasn't controversial anymore. Everyone I talked to or read loves it. It made me realize the skyways and the ballfield are both examples of public-private collaboration that seem improbable or wrong at some point in their careers, but can have positive outcomes that defy any textbook or ideological assumptions.
