MINNEAPOLIS - Twinsfest is back home at the Metrodome this weekend.

The Minnesota Twins festival kicks off in familiar surroundings Friday after being moved to the National Sports Center in Blaine last year following the collapse of the Metrodome roof.

More than 60 current and former Minnesota Twins players are expected to be on hand. Twinsfest also features the largest sports memorabilia collection in the Midwest and items from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

New this year is a random draw system for Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau autographs due to overwhelming fan demand. Fans have to pick up a wristband that will be handed out in a variety of colors. 20 minutes prior to the autograph session a color will be drawn. People with that color wristband will be allowed to get an autograph. The Twins say this is to give all fans an equal shot at landing an autograph. Here are the complete random draw autograph session details.

Twinsfest is open Friday from 4 p.m to 9:30 p.m. Saturday from 9:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. and Sunday from 9:00 a.m to 4 p.m.
