I will be sharing this with all my disgruntled sports pals. A couple of times in my life I've been invited to a luxury box or something like The Truss without having to pay. Lucky me! And....boooooring. Why would you go to a ballpark to sit indoors? These places truly blow. Best time I've had attending sports was circa 2000, $4 dollar ticket, $1 dog night at the long gone Metrodome in Minneapolis. Me and my friends took advantage many times. Outfield, pretty lousy seats, but you were surrounded by FANS. And there was a night when the spunky Twins of that era picked apart the Yankees and all of us in the outfield were suddenly friends. And, kids, DO NOT do the following, but... a number of those $1 dogs were purchased directly for the purpose of throwing them at the Yankees. That unfortunately put an end to $1 dog night, but I'm pretty sure everyone there at that game would agree it was worth it.
