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.

I agree! The Minnesota Twins need to keep in perspective that most people can't afford to go (or even WANT to go, can't they win a game or tw??) to 81 home games priced much higher than ticket prices currently are.
