Well, we tried

All year the Twins have been the hottest ticket in town. Big games. Little games. Every game. Every time our schedules coincided, Dave and I checked out tickets to try to take Jack to his first game at Target Field. They were always ungodly expensive or standing room only. I know people who have tried to go see a game all season, and they haven't wanted to pay the extremely high prices....so they stayed home.

But we stayed positive. We picked out a day to go to the game. There were no 'standing room only' tickets available. So, we got up early and went down to Target Field to try our luck at buying the few tickets that the box office sells each game. The line wound way around the office and down the sidewalk. We waited for awhile. They were sold out. Dave canvassed the scalpers. The best he could find were $150 for $40 seats. We had a 5 month old, and knew we weren't going to make it the entire game and we were willing to pay, but not $300 for a few innings of baseball in a regular game.

We snapped a few pictures of the extremely impressive place and then decided to go to a cafe around the block and grab food and then try our luck again during the second or third inning. At the cafe, everyone seated around us were waiting it out to do the exact same thing. So, we got out of the cafe, looked around and decided to get on the train and head home. The train ride home was very empty. Maybe next year.
