Minnesota Twins and Metrdome host all you can eat

On Monday night, the Minnesota Twins offered the first ever all-you-can-eat Twins ticket. For an extra $12 and the purchase of your section 231 upper level ticket, you got a wristband that allowed you to fill up on your favorite Metrodome food. The promotion was huge and fans waited in long lines for the Metrodome hot dog, nacho, pretzel, popcorn and coke buffet. There were a few rules like you could only get two food items and one pop at one time, but people just kept getting in line for more. The Metrodome concourse was actually crowded on a Monday night Twins game so the promo must have worked!

Metrodome – Metrodome food!

Here’s a quick rundown of food choice at our beloved Metrodome (for Minnesota Twins games):

Best deal: $2.75 cup of fries. These are typical thick greasy “state fair” style fries, but at $2.75, they are probably the best thing you can get for your money (no guarantees they will still be that price for the 2008 Twins season).

Best item at the ice cream concession: Grand Slam Sundae all the way. The helmet sundae is boring and the root beer float is ok but it’s not Grand Slam-tastic!

Best hot dog: Dome Dog is still the champ. The dollar dogs are cheap but they just don’t compare to the thick juiciness of a Dome Dog.

Worst concession: The Dippin’ Dots knockoff packaged ice cream. Do not spend the six dollars or whatever it is on these terrible “treats.” The “dots” come out as one frozen block and they don’t have the soft yogurt texture of the original Dots.

Well there you go Minnesota Twins fans and Metrodome frequenters. Enjoy your Metrodome tickets and be vigilant with your concession choices.
