It really wasn’t much of a game. But any game in that stadium is worth watching! And at least it didn’t rain. What section was this picture taken in? I was in 109 and this almost looks like the view I had…

I was in Dugout Box 5

…or whatever the section right above the first-base dugout was called.

The game sucked

But the stadium was AMAZING!!!
I don’t think there was a bad seat in the house. Beautiful
Big too. 3 levels……

Ski-U-Mah!

Budweiser

I understand it is about marketing budgets and the Twins have done well adding brews but it would be sweet if that sign said Summit or Schells.

I want a replica of the Grain Belt sign up there.

Awesome...

I was there checking it out around 11am til game start. Got to see all the suites, exclusive season ticket holder areas (Legends box, Metropolitan Club). All I can say is it was amazing. Tons of Twins and Minnesota flavor all over the place. Concourses are wide. Great views from almost anywhere even from the 3rd level, especially on 1st and 3rd base lines.

Highest levels in the outfield had cutoff views (e.g. above left field can’t see left field wall). However, you don’t feel as far away as you did at the Metrodome in any seat. I am excited to pick up some single game tickets this season.

Grade: A+ for being outdoors and looking like a place you WANT to go!
