Looks like there are even vegan options

I kid of course, but I'm sure I just lost all the vegan readers.

But wait!  Please read on, because Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins, has added some incredible new menu selections for folks that are looking to add more than just a dog and chips to their game-day experience.

For as much as you have to pay these days, options are a really good thing.

Bring Me The News provides an update on what's new for 2022 and as you can see they've tried to keep some of the Minneapolis/St Paul regionality to the new selections. Hence, the wild rice and walleye.  But know what's also really delicious? Brauts with wild rice inside! (They do exist)

It's like Minnesota is in your mouth!

The cheapest Major League ballpark hot dogs and beer

This is info provided by The Takeout and honestly, some of these prices ain't bad.  Which just might make up a bit for extravagant ticket prices.  You'd think with 80 home games they wouldn't need to pop you so hard when trying to get butts in the seats. But someone has to pay for this guy's $43 million annual salary.
