Do teams sell individual playoff game tickets? The Twins just optimistically put their tickets on sale but it's only for an entire strip of all possible 14 home games. I haven't bought playoff tickets since like 2006 and they at least did individual series strips then. Will I have to just resort to scalpers if I just want to go to a WC game?

They'll start selling individual tickets closer to the time yeah. Unless they sell them all as playoff packages, though in the Twins case that seems unlikely since all they do in the playoffs is lose. Me personally I would definitely want to be able to say I was there for their first playoff win since the Coolidge Administration or whatever it is

A new stadium being built next to the old stadium solves nothing because people from Tampa still aren’t going to sit on the Howard Frankland for 45 minutes in rush hour traffic to sit in a warehouse with a baseball diamond inside whether the stadium is full of luxury boxes or not.FlamingLiberal posted:My guess is that nothing in Tampa is feasible without public money Yeah, Hillsborough County and Tampa probably told him to go to hell when he wanted $600 million.

Yes but almost assuredly the owner is getting a bunch of development rights in that area for his stadium financing!!

Everyone: Hey, it’s not just the stadium that sucks but it’s also the fact that it’s incredibly bottlenecked to get to and from the stadium, and we don’t think it’s worth the hassle to attend when we can just watch or listen to the broadcast. Rays owners apparently: Clearly building a brand new stadium right next to the old one without addressing the issues of transportation will help! Look, we even have luxury boxes!

Brewers lease is up 2030 so Manfred has been bitching about getting free money while bringing up Oakland. This proposal would keep the Brewers until 2050. At least now they tie the state funds to the players and visiting teams income tax now.

The D-Backs scoring on multiple hits to CF that PCA would have run down easily but instead he's on the bench so a 32 year old career AAAA guy with 0 OAA can play CF instead really just sums up everything wrong with how the Cubs have oriented themselves right now. Next year is going to be a clusterfuck since a ton of rookies are poised to graduate and Ross is gonna want to sit them all so he can play geriatric KBO washouts. Motherfucker sac'd the DH and put Morel in CF the other day rather than letting Canario get off the bench. Like don't get me wrong I don't think Canario is the savior or anything and playing him would turn the season around, but if you're that unwilling to even swap him in as a defensive guy in extras why the gently caress did you call him up?

Yeah, I get having faith in your players, but there’s a clear indication that some need to loving rest and clear their heads and give the new guys a chance. Just having them sit there watching their teammates struggle while they can actually do something is incredibly frustrating.

Tailgating is a thing in football because it's only one Saturday/Sunday a week, a handful of times per season. It's rare enough to warrant a party atmosphere. No one has time for all that for weekday games all summer long. Also, the capacity of a football stadium is 2-3x any baseball stadium, so you have that many more people at the party.

You could tailgate a baseball game on a Saturday or Sunday. I have. But it doesn’t cover the other 5 games a week. And you don’t have the same ritual and routine and build you have with football. Building up all week or two weeks to Sunday. It’s an event. Individuals might make a baseball game an event. We buy tickets and anticipate going to the game for weeks and make a day of it when it happens. But you don’t have the same communal experience and shared ritual.
