POLL Minor League Baseball

[Droopdog51]

We currently live just south of Minneapolis/St. Paul. We have a much better time (at a much lower hit to the wallet) going to a St. Paul Saints game than a Twins game. This is provided the Astros aren't playing the Twins.

The seats are better, the crowd is more fun, getting to the game and parking are much easier, the entertainment between innings is hilarious. For example, this is how they "Drag" the infield after the 3rd & 7th innings.....

Maybe if I was a Twins fan, my outlook would be different, but he overall experience for me at a Saints game is much more fun.

How far are you from Buford? I have some family there

About an hour northeast with no traffic, so basically 2 hours. I work there.

I spent about 6 months on a job between Calhoun and Dalton. Used to go down to Governor's in Rome on the weekends. If that tells you how long ago that was.

I like minor league baseball a lot. they all have those little games between innings that the majors dont do

And everything is cheaper and almost no matter where you sit you're practically right on the field and it's still quality baseball and a lot of them have nice ballparks as well.

That's Mike Veeck. Much like his dad, he is a born entertainer. The Saints are definitely a lot of fun.

It's about expectations.
The problem with minor league ball is that the majority of fans have zero idea what they are even doing at the game unless it's for the nachos or the fireworks. So it's hard to find people who can discuss it with any sense of credibility.

The seating and such makes the games worth it. I do indy ball a lot (see avatar <----------------------) so that's a slightly different approach.

The Captains are about 10 minutes from my house, Akron is less than hour and the Scrappers are just over an hour. I usually do several Captains games with the fam and one or two Indians games.

I think Minor League games are a lot fun. Plus, if the kids are done after the 5th or 6th inning, no big deal.
