WOW downtown is going to be crazy busy. Good thing I finally get to chill after a game. Man am I going to be drunk. I might pull a Trent and try to take a newspaper stand.

I hear ya, and that is great...but that still doesn't resolve the fact that the game will probably be over by the time you get there...and even if it isn't over you'll probably be lucky to watch an inning.Quote:

By the time you got out of the dome and caught the train and got over there... you'd catch maybe one or 2 innings, if that. You're better off drinking a victory beer and enjoying the first home game of the season IMOQuote:

I would probably just buy standing room only ticket still available from the twins. Cost is only $20, but after fees probably closer to $30.Quote:
Yeah i see what you're saying.
Are there (cheap) tickets for the game readily available?.. if you had to get them off stub hub or whatever and they weren't cheap then i would give it a miss as no point spending your hard earned when you may only catch the last couple of innings.
Game gets out at 3:15.
Wade throgh crowds, wait in line for train 3:35.
Take train to Target field 3:45
Buy tickets get inside stadium 4:00 Game is probably already over.
Or you could drive to big lake hop on the train and take in a full game some other day without having to drive all the way into the cities. Except for one remaining twins game, the Northstar train will be servicing every other Twins game for the remainder of the season.
I realize anybody can go to a Twins game, but for me the value of taking in 9 innings of the beautiful Target Field for $25 beats out watching 1 inning for the same price with only benefit of being able to brag I was at both in the same day.
It would be awesome if it was a night game. Than It would be an awesome idea.

Yeah but you can't really see a nine inning game for $25. You have to pay for transportation and spend money to get drunk. The beauty would be your already there and your already drunk(and already arranged sober cab and paid for parking).Quote:

The timing is the big problem. In my perfect world you would leave the Vikings game by 2:30 and be to target field by 3:00 with a good hour hour left in the game. Your timeline is probably closer to what would actually happen.

Yeah, I guess if it was a blow out you could leave the Vikings game a bit early...that or hope for extra innings. It's worth tracking that day. I wouldn't be opposed to trying it but I'm not going to get my hopes up.Quote:

Truth be told he failed to get it all the way to the car from the tailgate lot. Once the helpers saw police in proximity everyone got scared and left him hanging. Too difficult to drag the remaining three blocks to the car by self so gave up.Quote:
