So my dad and I were unsure how to spend our last day in Minnesota. Â The Twins had an afternoon game, so we decided to go downtown and eat and ask some ticket scalpers how much seats would cost for the sold out contest. Â Being so close to game time, we were able to score […]

It is hard to explain, but visiting sports stadiums really excites me. Â My friends always joke that I would pull of the highway to see a Little League in a new stadium, and they could be right.
