July 28, 200817 yr I'm going to all 7 games this week. Anything really worth going out of the way for in the Twin Cities and KC?
July 28, 200817 yr That is awesome, I have never been to away Sox game but would definitely consider doing it. Are you driving? How much is all this costing you if you don't mind me asking?
July 28, 200817 yr I've been to both places. Minny in '01, KC at the end of '03 (RIP JM). Minny, you got the Mall of America, which might be of some interest. When I was in KC, on Saturday I did a day trip over to the Negro League Hall of Fame and Jazz Museum, which are both well worth your time. Then afterwards I took a short walk to Arthur Bryants for some serious Kansas City barbeque. Good times.

Minneapolis is directly north of me, and KC is directly south. The GF and I are going up to Minny together and the hotel was about $120 a night. She's going to pick up the gas tab and the tickets are free thanks to a contact in the Twins organization. Tuesday afternoon I'm going to Apple Valley to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX. Some of my family members are going to meet me back at my place Thursday night, and then we're headed south when my roommate gets off work around 3:00. For hotel, gas and tickets, it's about $250 a person.

I liked the old school atmosphere of their dining room - complete with those retro-style cigarette machines you used to see in bars everywhere.

July 28, 200817 yr I was gonna go to tomorrow's game to see Mark pitch, but I couldn't get it off. Have fun!!!
July 28, 200817 yr Author Ah s***, I just noticed Thursday's game is a night game. I won't be going to that.
July 28, 200817 yr Enjoy it, I just got back from Detroit with 60 other Sox fans on the Grinders Road trip. We had a blast, stayed at the MGM Detroit . I encourage more of us fans look into going next season, was well worth it.
