$99 for home plate seats and $70 for centerfield?  Are they on crack???
The $21 seats will be to low to even see the play on the field.

I'm trying to figure out what those even mean, because that almost has to be a mistake unless there is some other perk to those seats.

Having to buy tickets in advance is kind of annoying.

It also says this:

St. Thomas and Saint John's stakeholders will have an exclusive presale opportunity beginning on December 6 and December 7.
The email I got says that the SJU presale starts on December 7.  So I guess that means U$T fans get first opportunity to purchase tickets?  Total BS!!!  The game is 9 months away and U$T hasn't even hit our QB late once and I'm already full of piss and vinegar!!

Like 9 months in advance???  Luckily for U$T they won't have anything going on this week to distract them from ordering tickets!!!

I checked with Mrs.57 and my regular reserved seat will cost the same as this year.
I have to take her out for catfish the day before.

I honestly think the best seats for the game will be in sections 222 and 223.

I've never sat in those seats or watched them really closely but for Twins games, I think they have food service to your seat.  Not that that would be enough to sell me, but maybe that's part of the package.

As a reference tickets to the Stagg Bowl are $12.50

I forgot to mention that I saw Coach Caruso at the bakery on Sunday morning.  He was trying to return some day old turnovers.   

Or should I have went with he was looking to buy some glazed donuts and long johns but all they had were turnovers?

Hawthorn forward and championship legend, Jarrod Roughead (who's name is eponymous), has just announced remission from a melanoma which had metastasized on his lungs last year (with quite a low survival rate).  He took to the first day of pre-season yesterday and, if fit after a six-month training pause, will take the field in round 1 in three months.

He undertook the relatively new immunotherapy for melanoma where the drugs help your body's immune systems recognize and attack the cancer.  Pretty amazing.  Anyway, good news for all us Hawks fans as he's a huge threat up forward.  Tall, mobile, agile and very disruptive to defensive setups.

That is where the Champions Club is. Valet parking & a real nice buffet during Twins Games. The only buffet I have been to where you can get prime rib and Skittles. That is a very steep price for a D3 game even with the buffet,private bathroom & limited "free beer" offerings. Of course the top shelf booze is an extra charge.

I think I'll enjoy the game from my luxury box in Maple Grove.

I know the seats are cushy in the Champions Club too, I'd just be surprised if those amenities are really going to be available for this. I'm imagining what TCF Bank Stadium was like for the HS Playoff last year (maybe US Bank Stadium was different this year?), where there were very few ticket booths open and the vending options were limited. It was a pretty barebones operation.

Think the game will be webcast?  They need to sell tickets.

Well, if not, I will tune into the radio broadcast.

Congrats to all the MIAC players that earned West All Region.

Great to see Drew Neuville get 1st team honors. He had a great career and was a complete TE.

Brinker, Hull and Berg were the only MIAC underclassmen named. Though I think Clark has a medical hardship year coming as well, right?

was wondering the same thing. Could see a blackout. The pricing seems high, but the unknown factor is the non die-hards who see this as reunion and social event. I've heard more from that crowd wanting to jump and by tickets right away than the die-hards.

I also think we see an all out PR effort between the Twins/UST/SJU to bring College Gameday in as well. Will very likely be two top 10 teams, maybe top 5. As of right now the power 5 slate that week is pretty soft.
