I went last weekend and can hardly wait to go again. I caught Mississippi Braves vs Mobile in Jackson. Best fun I have had with the family in several months.

We have a Northwoods League team where I live, the Waterloo Bucks. It's cheap, they serve beer, and the game is played how it's meant to be played. Great times.

I make it to about 5 Boise Hawks games a year, but I don't think they have started playing yet

Yeah, affordable seats is a big plus. There was a nice crowd too, I hope they stay perpetually.

Love it ! ! ! Baseball the way it used to be!

Smaller parks. Tickets that don't cost as much as a decent used car. And no prima donnas...the players are all out there playing like their lives depend on it...which is understandable...young kids hoping for a shot at the majors, and old veterans trying to keep the glory alive a little longer.

Have been to see the Toledo Mudhens a couple of times, and the Erie SeaWolves once. Hope to get to some games this season.

I do. Our AAA team is about 45 minutes away from where I live.

Sugarland just got a new team and built a new stadium, called the Skeeters. They're not affiliated with anyone yet (Independent League), but I hope the Astros pick them up as their AA or AAA.

Can't wait to go see 'em. Never been to a minor league game, and it's only about 5 miles from where I live.

Used to go to the Omaha Royals when I was a kid (KC farm club), a couple years ago they reinvented themselves into the Omaha Stormchasers and built a new ball park that seats 6 - 8,000.

I take the kids now and then. Cozy entertaining baseball for sure.

I love minor league baseball.

Actually there's a team about 15 minutes from me in Gary. They're not affiliated to any Major league teams, but it's a great park and usually has a solid turn out.

I've always liked it. We used to go to Charlotte O's and Columbia Mets games when I was younger, and I've been to a lot of Sallie League stadiums during college. Always a great atmosphere, prices are more affordable, you're closer to the action, and the in-between-innings promotionals are generally outrageous.

Was really happy when the Mets and Yankees both got NY-Penn league teams in the city limits (Brooklyn Cyclones, Staten Island Yankees). They're the only minor league teams that play in the same city as their parent clubs, as far as I know. Both really fun places to watch a game.

The Nashville Sounds have a beautiful new stadium downtown and I can't wait to go but it's been pouring day rain for this inaugural series and there's a 90% chance of rain tomorrow.

My family used to have season tickets to the team in Martinsville. First, it was a rookie league affiliate of the Phillies. I got to see Scott Rolen and Ricky Williams the football player start their pro baseball careers. The Astros ended up acquiring the team and they only kept it in town 1 season before moving it to Greenville TN. The closest minor league teams to me now are the Salem Red Sox and the Lynchburg Hillcats (Indians).

Grew up with my Grandma having season tickets to the Tidewater Tides. I can't even begin to count the times we went.

I love minor league baseball.

Usually attend several games a season. Try and make it to all the Las Vegas 51's games against the Tacoma Rainiers. Its also fun to check out all the different ball parks.

Portland, OR used to have the Rockies and Beavers as farm teams but lost them both. There is a new team in Hillsboro but i have yet to make a game.

I live 2 blocks from the Iowa Cubs AAA stadium. Go to games as often as possible. Was really pissed Kris Bryant was called up the night before the home opener, didn't play a single game in Des Moines

I love going to minor league games. I live about 15 minutes from the Cubs single-A team stadium. It used to be the Diamondbacks single-A, but a new owner bought the stadium and was able to change to the Cubs. The stadium is much more filled now. And it's great to get to watch Cubs prospects, even if at a low level.

Best part is its a great chance to take my two young boys to the games.
