Let me vent in hopes that others share my frustration. Last season (and every season I can remember before it), the concourse had a pretty good selection of both local and national beer to choose from. But this year they seem to have minimized the selection on the concourse so that every cooler just has Bud, Bud Light, Bud Light Seltzer, Modelo, Nutrl, Big Wave and Mango Cart. Some coolers seem to have Hazy Beer Hug and Modist Dreamyard, but in previous seasons there were way more options spread out all around the arena (Fulton, Summit, New Belgium off the top of my head). It sucks!
My guess is that this is new management limiting options to cut costs, which stinks because in-arena experience is a pretty poor place to try and cut costs (especially when the change is this drastic). Every other arena in town has great beer selections both local and national, and it’s frustrating that the one I frequent the most by a significant margin seems to have decided to go hard in the opposite direction to save some $$$.
It isn’t just the beer selection where they’re penny pinching, it’s literally everywhere. Even things that are not directly controlled by the Timberwolves, such as the parking ramps increasing to $16 - what a goddamn ripoff.
But then the other things like the member exchange games being limited to only 5 trades this year. I don’t recall seeing that limitation in my contract, but I can’t promise it was not there.
All this collective greed will force me not to renew my season tickets.
