    Parking, one hot dog, one slice of pizza, one cocktail and two beers = $73.

    The hot dog was just acceptable as was the two beers and the slice of pizza.

    The cocktail was sub par.

    The tickets were $316.40 which was at a big discount.

    Got two Blazer hats at a 20% discount for $51.20.

    Total spent $440.60.

    Kind of an expensive Saturday night.

    Oh well, I've got two spiffy $3 hats for my money.

    Sat next to a kid who appeared to be about 13 who was a big Timberwolves fan. He would yell for his team when they did something good and I would yell a little louder for my team when they did something good, he would increase his volume and glee each time his team excelled at something. I couldn't keep up with him. Kind of fun.

    Was it worth it? I'm a huge Blazer fan, so yes.

    Edit: Fixed typo.

    I sat in my boxers, reclining in my lazy boy, with my chocolate lab laying on me, eating cheetos that cost 1.79. League pass comes out to about 3.00 a game, so I spent 5.00 for the night

    Yours was not worth it

    It says right there that you're an original season ticket holder. No more?

    If you've got it, why not? Better than losing money in Vegas Lanny! I keep telling my son that I plan to spend it all so not to get his hopes up!

    I'm surprised it was even acceptable after you parked on it.

    Fans are paying a premium price for a mediocre product.

    Those prices are outrageous.

    He didn't say how many cheetos. It might have been 3.

    You don't have to eat. Live is Always Better, IMO. I have League Pass too, and I would rather watch my boys live any day of the week.

    I definitely dont especially with all the kids!

    Entertainment is expensive though and I think what you got and the price seems about what I would expect.

    I have a thing for orchestra music, and tickets to most of those are like 200ish when they come around if I want to take my wife, and we want to eat out and all that we can breach 5-600 bucks pretty easy! Which is why we dont do it that often.

    Went to see Metallica on Wednesday at the Moda and was amazed at the concessions prices. Water was probably the cheapest thing, 5 bucks. But considering your paying around 150 bucks plus a ridiculous ticketmaster surcharge. What's a few more dollars. :dunno:
