Baseball Stadiums
I've been using my Jet Blue pass to hit up Baseball Stadiums I've never had a chance/reason to visit.
So far I've been to one of the oldest (Fenway) and the newest (Citi Field). There are a couple that I wanted to visit, like Coors Field and Citizens BP, but Jet Blue has some faggot ass routes.
I'll be heading to Pittsburgh and Chicago next week, any info on these parks would be appreciated. If you like to talk about another stadium, you are welcome to do so too.

INCORRECT.
TARGET FIELD is the newest stadium, and it is already considered one of the best. It's right in downtown Minneapolis, by lots of bars, restaurants, entertainment, and hotels. You could literally get off the plane and ride the Light Rail from the airport (first stop on the line) to Target Field (last stop on the line). The crowd energy is great. Plus, the Twins have been the best team in baseball sinnce the all-star break, and are going to win the World Series!
Come visit! It's a great new gem in the baseball world!! If you've never been to Minneapolis either, you should come. It's a nice place.
Really. If you're out to visit stadiums right now, this is a must!
Don't worry about ticket availability--in any case, there are many scalpers who sell tickets for very reasonable prices.

I meant to say 'one of the oldest and one of the newest'. That park was definitely on my list, but Jet Blue flys over your state, not to it.
I will have to watch Thome knock shit outta the Coliseum this weekend.

Yeah then you're good to go. Holler at me if you want to go grab a beer I live a block away.Jayou Ayen wrote:Yeah, I'm going to see games at each stadium. It was a bitch to work out the days. I'll be in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, and Chicago (Wrigley) on Wednesday.
Yeah Wheels, even on Stubhub, the tickets are as low as $2 right now.

There are pretty cheep flights from Chicago, usually. There's the train, too. Also, if you are EVER flying to Minneapolis, check out Sun Country Airlines. They only fly to and from MPLS, and are usually pretty cheap.

That's good info, I wish I had known sooner.

Re: Baseball Stadiums
Not like the Coliseum is anything to write home about...
The Giants should be in town then. They are supposed to have a good field.
AND, Sun Country is just the best. They even still give you free snacks and food on the flight (at least last time I flew). I got a $200 round trip ticket from mpls to nyc once.

I'm from Oakland.Myjah wrote:The Milwaukee Brewers are playing the San Fransisco Giants this weekend in San Fransisco. So no worries if you're going to the bay. I bet that would be a better experience anyway (than the Coliseum I mean, not Target Field).

WTF?

But I'm pretty sure the importance of baseball in Minnesota and California is 180 degrees different. The A's are an afterthought, regardless of their rank in the standings. The only decent sports talk station is the Giants flagship, so since I listen to that all day, I actually know more about them than my own team.
I'm sure the Twins are much more important to your community.
Bottom line is, I was looking at Thome's stats on ESPN, and when I looked at your schedule, I thought it said @ Oakland.

If it was one of Jet Blue's routes, I'd be there.Myjah wrote:Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City is supposed to be really nice too. Of course, the Royals play there, so...
Just to illustrate what I was saying about attendance/interest, here's the attendance figures from last night's Twins/A's game:
Game Information
Stadium Target Field, Minneapolis, MN
Attendance 40,681 (103% full) - % is based on regular season capacity
Last time we had full capacity at the yard was probably against the Sox in the 2003 playoffs. This was just a regular season game.

True, I was under the assumption that most everyone now considered the Coliseum the worst stadium in baseball. Tis a shame, I like the A's generally.Jayou Ayen wrote:If it was one of Jet Blue's routes, I'd be there.Myjah wrote:Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City is supposed to be really nice too.

And very true, Twins fandom is at an all time high. Just about every game at Target Field this year has sold out. The handful that didn't were practically sold out, and the only reason they didn't sell out was because everyone was already assuming the game was sold out so didn't bother to look. Most games sell thousands of standing-room only tickets (which aren't that bad, because there are lots of standing-room only areas).
I know there is the whole "new stadium" effect, but I have some high hopes that this will last for quite awhile for the Twins. Every Wild game at the Xcel has been sold out for like three years--and Joe Mauer doesn't even play for the Wild, the Wild isn't even that good, and the Xcel isn't even a new stadium. Of course, it is hockey and this is Minnesota...
Target Field has really changed Minneapolis. The entertainment district downtown used to be dead; now it's just packed every time the Twins play, and people stick around down there too. Being from Minneapolis and having lived there most my life, it's just amazing how much things can change in just a few months. Now it's really like a legitimate city.
