okay, so i'm not writing off the twins completely this year. the truth is the american league central is pretty weak all the way around and anything can still happen in this young season. i did find out that my ticket contact has secured our seats in section 119 in the new twins ballpark, target field, for next year. above is an animated representation of the view from sec 119. very awesome indeed. not directly behind home plate as i am for the dome but better than expected and i'm thrilled with how it worked out. no more viewing the game from behind a net.
tonight the wife and i take in our first twins game of the year, interleague play against milwaukee. i think may 22nd is a record for how far into the season i've gone without going to a game, but the truth is, ticket prices are up and the entertainment budget is down. i have 4 games (10 tickets) in the premium seats secured for this year and the plan is to take the kids to one or two games in the nose bleeder seats. of course next year we move outside which, let's be honest, is where baseball should be played. i'm not a dome hater, but having been to many of the classic stadiums (yankee stadium, fenway park, wrigley field, etc.,) the teflon roof, artificial turf, and plastic baggy outfield wall just don't cut it for a baseball purist like myself. yes, there will be rain, there will be cold, and there will be wind but there will also be sun and warmth. it's a trade-off worth taking in my book.
