2010 Season Opener - Who Goes?

The 2010 schedule is supposed to be announced Sept. 15.  Early rumors have the Target Field opener on April 12 (a Monday) vs. Boston.  If this is Boston's only trip of the season, this could be bad news for all the people who want Red Sox tickets (demand will be higher than normal for that first series, I imagine).

For the first time, this game will not be part of the random selection process that we go through in March to dole out tickets.  This one will go to people who have been in the group the longest, since they started us out on the process to get this far...back before the current playoff run began and when the thoughts of a new stadium were still just that.

As a reminder, I don't own the Legends Club Seats, and those will not be available on Opening Day.
I asked all the group from 2001-2002 if they wanted a single ticket (and all would get in) or if they wanted a pair of tickets and take a chance at going/not going.  Overwhelmingly, the 2nd choice was preferred.

So, in the Diamond Box seats: John Schultz and me (from 2001) will get the tickets.

In the Field Box seats, we'll randomly pick between the group that joined in 2002:
Jacob, Art, Kate, Virginia  (Roger already said he doesn't plan on going until it gets warm).
We'll find a time/place to draw straws or something this fall.  For those 2 not picked, I may try to get you bumped up early in the season too.

There will be a couple of exhibition games prior to the season - the Twins will announce what happens with that to season ticket holders soon (late Aug/early Sept).  We'll figure out how to deal with that later.
