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.
