The Minnesota Twins' home opener is coming up on April 6th and there are several fun activities planned for the first game at Target Field. This will also be the first game that fans get to see the gigantic new scoreboard and other features added during the offseason.

The most important change at the ballpark might be another option for lower concession prices. You can save, if you know where to look. Three value vendors are will be set up inside the ballpark to help families save money. Learn where to find those lower prices for 2023 below.

Several times a year I'm offered free tickets, but most of the time I politely decline because a trip to the ballpark can be quite expensive even when the tickets are free.

Getting into the game isn't typically a problem, it's the price of everything else from parking to concessions that adds up.

How Much Does The Average Family Spend Going to a Twins Game?

The Hustle published an article that revealed what the average family of four would spend going to a ballgame. They used data from 2022's FanCostIndex, which factors the price of tickets, concessions, and parking.

For the report they assumed a family of four would purchase four tickets, two beers, two sodas, four hot dogs, and pay for parking. Using that data they found the average family of four going to a Twins game would spend a little more than $170.

That order doesn't seem realistic though. If you're going with kids you're probably going to be buying candy, ice-cream, popcorn, etc. And, you're probably going to have more than one beer or soda.

I think it's safe to say a trip to Target Field could easily cost $200 or more for the average family. Thankfully, the Minnesota Twins have lowered concession prices and will be offering unlimited refills during games.

It'll be worth the walk to find these stands because they offer "value-based, family-friendly pricing" on some of the most popular foods in the ballpark.

These concession stands also feature self-serve, touchscreen kiosks to speed up ordering so you aren't wasting time waiting in long lines.
