The Saint Paul Saints pride themselves on providing the best entertainment value in the Twin Cities. As much as I enjoy going to the ballpark as a family, a major league baseball game is rarely in the budget for our family of six. But with Saints minor league tickets starting at $5.00 for berm seats and surprisingly affordable concessions, the St Paul Saints are an option we can count on. There are so many things to keep kids of all ages engaged and entertained — they will love the saints mascot, Mudonna the pig, the Play Zone play area, between-inning entertainment and the various activities and promotions throughout the season. Saints Games are often much less crowded than major league games, making them a great option for introducing kids to professional baseball. Whether it is a toddler’s first game or you have high-school baseball fans, here are some other ways to make it fun — some of these ideas come from the Saints website and others from experienced spectators and parents. Small kids may need a break from the game of baseball and running up and down the bleachers may not always be appropriate. The Kids Play area at CHS Field is named the HealthPartners PowerUp Play Zone. You can find it behind the black center field wall on the concourse. Kids can climb a 12-foot high climbing wall, play Veggieland (a life size take on Candyland), slide down the Fruit Chute, bounce in the club Clementine bounce house and play on the Rainbow climbing structure. Breastfeeding mothers or those who just want to feed their baby in peace during a game, can use the Mother’s Nursing Room. Find it behind Section 116. There are two Family Restrooms at CHS Field. They are located behind Sections 107 and 112. Outside food and beverages (except sealed water bottles and baby formula) are not allowed. When I asked at a game, I was told that the Saints are pretty lax about this rule. I’ve not tested this information, because concessions support the team and are generally affordable. After Midway Stadium closed, the Twins moved to their new stadium, CHS Field in Lowertown St. Paul in 2015. This is a busier area of St. Paul. However, the Saints provide a tailgating lot a couple blocks from the field at the corner of Lafayette Street and Prince Street, just off Kellogg Boulevard. The price for parking is $8.00 and grills, food and beverages are all allowed on the lot. The berm seats are on a grassy hill above the bullpen, behind left field. These are the tickets that cost $5 for anyone. Ticket sales of for Berm seats are only in person on the day of game. If you are flexible and/or want to work around the moods of children, day-of tickets may be your best bet. Small kids in particular, actually love these seats. They can watch the game and still move. It is also close to the playground area and restrooms! Also, the fact that these tickets are sold day of and first come, first serve, means parents can choose their day of attendance based on less plannable circumstances, like a child’s mood and weather. Admission to the City of Baseball Museum is FREE with your Saints ticket. It has rotating exhibits and an Interactive Tech Table that kids will find fun. The table introduces Saints history with videos, photos and interactive fun. A Saint Paul Saints game can be an affordable alternative to get out and cheer for some home runs! We would love to hear your experience and ideas for attending with children. Leave us a comment.Articles Related to the Saint Paul Saints & CHS Field
