It's been a while since I've been to a minor league game, and I've never been to their suites. It's now on my bucket list. I've been to a few MLB suites over the years thanks to vendors, but that's not something I'll ever have the money for personally.

Minor league games are awesome.

I don’t have any minor league teams near me now but I used to go to Buffalo to watch the bisons play on occasion when I lived in Toronto. Especially when they had guys from the Jays down there on rehab assignments.

We have an independent league team near us (about 45 minutes drive). I was planning to go to one of their games this summer and check it out.

Last year I told Siggy that buying a minor league team was somewhat of a dream of mine. So when the xyz Stackers exist I will make sure the owners suite is available for you whenever you want it. Haha

I totally get that dream -- when I was a kid, I read a book by Roger Kahn (of Boys of Summer fame) about the year he spent owning a minor-league team, and it was the reason I first went to some minor league games (starting with the Durham Bulls when I spent time in NC as a teen).

Like everything else in the world MiLB teams are getting more expensive in fiat terms. When I first started thinking about this you could buy a lower level team for 2-3M and the higher levels for 15-20M but I think the floor is around 6-7M now and the ceiling is up to 50M.

Minor league players have no union and make less than minimum wage

Payroll will be low!

All salary complaints will be ignored, insurrection will not be tolerated!
