    Tigers @ Sox 4/29 Game 2

    He can play almost any position. Plus speed.

    Sure he had a very slow start but he is always reliable. This is why he's the most tenured player on the team. So many people on this board talking shit about him but I love what he provides. 

    Have yourself a day Leury!

    Minneapolis is tough right now.  Tbh, you definitely won't get the same experience as you would have pre-covid/George Floyd outside of the ballpark itself.  Just a lot less activity downtown than usual.  For instance, I've worked downtown for about a decade now and I haven't stepped foot in my office since mid-March 2020. I've really only been downtown a handful of times in the past 15 months.  This is pretty much the case for most of downtown employees.  Tons of restaurants are still not re-opened and a lot of downtown is boarded up.  Its sad.  But there is plenty to do, and dtown Minneapolis is very walkable.  Would definitely recommend heading across the river to NE Minneapolis (like 15-20 min walk from Target Field), where things are little more open, and you'll find more restaurants, breweries, patio seating etc open. Just east of the ballpark is an called the North Loop and that area is pretty happening still and will find lots of good restaurants and younger people milling about going to bars.  A few restaurant suggestions in the area  - Parlor Bar (best burger in MPLS), Bar LaGrassa, Smack Shack, Young Joni (best pizza in MPLS). I promise you none of those will disappoint.  

    As for the park - I would definitely recommend sitting in different places for each game.  The last 15-20 rows behind the dugouts are their own section with comfy/padded seats and private dining options below the stands.  Definitely would recommend splurging 1 game and sitting down there.  My company has seats 3rd row behind the visitor dugout and that is super duper fun place to sit when the Sox are in town.  This is different than the scout seats behind the plate and a very clear step down.  Think more like $60-85 tickets as opposed to several hundred.

    There is an overhang in rightcenter field where there is like 4-6 rows of seats up above the limestone wall - also a very fun place to watch a game and can get seats pretty affordably.  Would recommend trying that one game as well.  LF bleachers (with back rests) is also a fun place to sit. Champions Club (similar to whatever used to be called the LG Skyline club at the Cell - not sure what its called these days), is also a good spot.   I would avoid the upper deck in all honesty.     

    Foodwise - its mainly your typical ballpark fare, but I would recommend the smaller/movable stands as opposed to the built in more generic stands.  Several good options to try out.  Minneapolis is a big craft beer city, so lots of beer stands offering the local brews.  If you drink beer, give a few a try!

    All in all, Minneapolis is a great place to visit and I think you'll really enjoy it.  Not exactly the best time in its history, but still plenty to do and the ballpark is beautiful.  Go Sox!     Feel free to DM me with any questions as it gets closer.  Happy to help! 

    Thanks for the writeup, may have to plan a road trip this year!

    The Sox have to play the LONGEST games in baseball... not that Im complaining.  1 hour to not even be through the 2nd inning.

    Remember games that used to be under 3 hours?  I do not.

    I love it. Especially games like this. Just sipping beer. Perfect relaxing Sunday.
