Do you attend minor league games on a regular basis??
What team, where, and your comments??
Me: Reading, Pa Eastern League, Phillies. double A farm team.About 50 games a year.
Reason: intimate,everybody knows everybody and the staff takes care of you. Example:my wife likes diet decaf soda at night games. She asked the GM about it. His response, no one ever asked,. but now they carry it.
Reserved seat, $ 9.00,Hot dog,$ 1.50,large soda,$3.00. And it beats TV reruns.

Absolutely!
Better value, better seats, better service, just as much fun.
My local minor league team is the Swing of the Quad Cities, formerly the River Bandits. They are a low A farm team for the Cardinals, formerly a Twins farm club. I watched Joe Mauer catch here a few years back. Recent renovations of John O'Donnell Stadium have made it a great place to see a game right on the ole Miss.
I go to Chicago and other midwestern cities to see big league games too, but I actually have more fun right here.

ME...ME...ME!!! I go to the Trenton Thunder games and Somerset Patriot games. I go to a lot of Trenton Thunder games I cant even count and i go to Somerst Patriot games maybe twice or three times a year. I love Trenton Thunder the stadium and seats are wonderful and the view is great. And what I really love is that most teams have a bat boy well TrentonThunder has a bat dog...his name is Chase and he's a golden retriever. They trained him to pick up the bats when the players get a hit or when they walk and stuff. I love Somerset Patriot games because we always get the box seats and the food is great and the air conditioning feels soo good. And they have dipin' dots too...they are the best...YUM!!! GO YANKEES!!! =)

I don't live in a city with a minor league team. The closest one to me is AA Springfield Cardinals. It's hard to really root for those teams because players are always at the mercy of daddy major league team. Plus, watching "projects" struggle and blow games is just downright painful. But what makes them great is knowing that most of them have a legitimate chance to make it to the bigs one day.

Im not but ever since that Manager for the AA Braves pulled that stunt I might get into it. Also a friend from my school is going to be playing for the Dodgers Minor League team so I might try to check it out.
