Twins ticket prices less than other Professional Sports

Minnesota Twins ticket prices have stayed steady compared to other sports as far as season ticket prices go. Minnesota Timberwolves charge $250 for a center court seat and the Minnesota Vikings charge $125 for a 50 yard line seat whereas the Minnesota Twins charge only $50 for a seat behind home plate. Sure, the Vikings have fewer games and opportunities to make their revenue, while the Minnesota Twins have 81 home games a season, but comparably the Minnesota Twins and the MLB are a lower price ticket.

If the Minnesota Twins raised their ticket prices I think they would anger a lot of longtime and loyal baseball fans. Not too long ago there was a special on the news about a Twins fan that had been to every game for like 30 years and he was 80 years old! I doubt he would be too please if the Minnesota Twins gave him the shaft. Of course the new stadium will not pay for itself, but drastically raising the Minnesota Twins ticket prices would not be the best way to do so. Upsetting the fans is the last thing the Minnesota Twins should do. Maybe they are waiting to see if the Twins make it far in the playoffs before announcing Twins ticket prices in the new stadium. This issue has been weighing heavily on my mind, can you tell? This is like the third time I have wrote about it this month.

More on Minnesota Twins Ticket Prices

Baseball thrives on being the American sport. I love that it caters to all economic and social classes. I think it is much different than say the NFL and even the NHL in some markets (i.e. here in Minnesota unless you are willing to camp out overnight for the cheap coveted upper level tickets). The general admission Minnesota Twins tickets start out fairly inexpensive for someone who is looking to just get in the door or who has 5 kids and want a fun yet cheap activity to do on a Sunday afternoon. I have heard that the new Minnesota Twins stadium will feature these kinds of ‘cheap seats’, but how cheap, no one will tell. I am hoping that my corporate America sister can score us some nicer, corporate level suite tickets so I can have a taste of the good life, too. You can bet that I will be making plans to go to the new Twins stadium, but how much am I willing to spend? Oh that is such a tough question.

Minnesota Twins Price Predictions

Everyone knows (well, most everyone – unless you live under a rock in the Twin Cities) that the Minnesota Twins are currently building a new stadium. Twins tickets prices may or may not go up because of this. I think that the prices will stay the same, but nicer club and suites will become available. The Minnesota Wild have their club and suite levels that cater to corporate events and clientele that want a nicer atmosphere and experience. The Twins would be foolish not to follow suit (or should I say suite ? –ha ha). The Minnesota Twins are set to have their new stadium finished for the 2010 season. A sponsorship deal for the new stadium has not been set up yet. A large corporate sponsor could also mean Minnesota Twins ticket prices could be less! Any predictions Twins fans? On the ticket prices or the big corporate sponsor…

Texas Rangers at Minnesota Twins attendance

One more Minnesota Twins Texas Rangers fact: It was the largest three-game series home attendance total for the Twins this season! Bigger than the Milwaukee Brewers, bigger than the New York Yankees – the Metrodome clicked 101,248 fans over the Twins Rangers three game series for an average of 33,749 fans per game. Way to show up Twins fans! I am willing to bet that the September 23-25 Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins series will be bigger, though. The AL Central will be on the line. I can’t wait!

Have a safe and happy Labor Day, Twins Fans!

Twins Ranger Series

The first Twins baseball series back from the All-Star Break was the Twins Rangers Series. Yes, I know this news is from July (18th, 19th and 20th to be exact), but it was a solid series and I often stress that teams won’t have the same zing when they come back from the All-Star break, but the Twins have remained steady and winning two games out of the three against the Texas Rangers on the first series back was a real momentum booster.

Twins Rangers Series Facts:

...Fridays 6-0 shutout was the Texas Rangers first shut out of the season and in fact was their first shut-out since an August 19, 2007 game at the Metrodome vs. our very own Minnesota Twins. Man, I love it when the Rangers come to town!

...Rangers pitcher Kevin Millwood has never beaten the Twins, he is 0-6. I wish we could play the Rangers every day.

...Delmon Young had his 12th game with 3-or-more hits. Delmon Young wishes we could play the Rangers every day!

...The 14-2 win also inked some season highs for the Twins as the team set single game-highs as a team in total bases, extra-base hits, rbi’s and season high home-runs with four. Who says we aren’t swinging for the fence every time? Oh yeah, me. We aren’t, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could play the Texas Rangers every day?

...The Twins lost the Sunday Rangers game 1-0 with a measly 3 hits. This was the fourth time the Twins have lost a 1-0 game. This was the second time this season that the Twins have scored 12-or-more runs in their previous game only to be shutout in the next game. Ick.

That’s all folks. Check back soon for more fun Twins facts!

Twins Bloggers petering out?

There has been plenty of Minnesota Twins news to report, I just haven’t been reporting it! In fact, when I look around the web there seems to be a lot of bloggers that aren’t blogging as often as they used to. Do you suppose the blogger bug has lost its bite? Or maybe it’s just all this nice summer weather that keeps us outside enjoying recreation that doesn’t involve a QWERTY keyboard. Anyway, I promise to get caught up soon – I am stuck in the office all day today so I promise to compile a list of random Twins facts for your reading pleasure. Stay Tuned Twins Fans! Stay Tuned!

Minnesota Twins Hot Ticket

The great people over at Ticket King still want to advertise on my Minnesota Twins blog -I am not sure why because google has stripped my page rank, but this is still a good quality site and I promised those ticket folks located over there by the Metrodome that I would do my best to increase the page rank and give them a bang for their buck. So go buy your tickets from Ticket King and tell them you heard it from their Twins blogger!

Twins are Hot at Home with Francisco Liriano

Sure, this Minnesota Twins blog has been quiet as of late, but the Minnesota Twins baseball team has not! The Twins are tied for first and on fire!

Last night, Francisco Liriano used that left arm of his to beat down the Seattle Mariners at the Metrodome 9-3…the best part? The Minnesota Twins are tied for first place in the AL Central (again).

I think Francisco Liriano is itching to make it into my top Twins Pitcher list, but he will need to tighten up a but first. Sure, he got the big win and I swore I saw some speeds at 92 MPH, but the 30 pitch 4th inning had me nervous, but he got out of it and the Twins bats are on fire so that always helps the pitchers confidence as well.


I think I am a few series behind on my random game facts, but don’t dismay – I WILL BE BACK (in the voice of the Terminator of course…in honor of Arnie coming to town for the RNC)
