Free Ice Cream For The Kids

The Twins also announced that for those not interested in the $2 beer, free ice cream on Sundays thanks to Target. According to the press release:

Similar To What The Detroit Lions Do On Game Day

The Twins may have taken the cheap beer and food before games idea from the Detroit Lions. For Lions' home games, if you are in the stadium when the gates open about 2.5 hours before kick-off, fans can get discounted beer, pop, cocktails, Bloody Marys, and hot dogs.

When I went to a game with my brother a few years ago, we got there early to take advantage of the deals, and it was an extremely affordable way to do game day, especially after what you pay for NFL tickets.
