I was lucky to be the guest of a friend to a second Twins game v.s. Cleveland this week. Frankie was channeling his old self repeating his winning ways. He pitched shut out ball through the 7th inning. And I got to see my first night game Twins Home Run courtesy of Cuddy. Still not seeing the river flowing on the Minnie and Paul sign. Perhaps my expectations of what a flowing river looks like are not in line with what the planners had in mind.
This time my view was from the "members only" Legend's Club. For a mere one-time membership fee of $1K-$2K (depending on where your seats are and not counting the price of the seats) you can duck inside an enclosed concession area complete with tables, bars, memorabilia displays and huge photos of Twins legends. And for those who aren't satisfied with soft serve ice cream (what those of us in Section 320 are used to), you can pick a freshly made dessert from the rolling dessert tray.
While I don't want to disparage those who watch baseball from this view, I did note quite a few people hanging out inside the club area nursing their drinks at tables way, way away from any viewing area. And no one inside the club chimed in on Take Me Out to the Ball Game during the stretch, except me. I think I embarrassed my hosts just a bit. My bet is that many people in this section are using corporate seats. Because if you'd paid $55 a seat yourself, wouldn't you just have to sit in it? I hadn't intended to be inside at the time, but I was searching for hot chocolate. It was a bit chilly last night.
Speaking of chilly, I clapped most the evening with gloves on. Also had on my nifty new Twins coat. Definitely came in handy not only during the game but also during our bike ride to and from the game. If you can get there via bike, I definitely recommend it.
