Portland Timbers Minneapolis Sport reviews
The Timbers Army is worth the price of admission
I love going to Timbers games. For my money, I think the best ticket is in general admission, because you are right in the thick of the Timbers Army. I like to get there early enough to sit in the first few rows of the 200 section right above the Army. You will stand the whole game, but that's what football is all about. The Army sings and cheers almost non-stop from a half hour or more before game time through the entire game, and stays to congratulate the players afterwards, win or lose! The down side to general admission is that you have to arrive about 45 minutes to an hour before game time to assure a decent seat. But, put your stuff down on your seat, go get some beer and food, and enjoy the pre-game atmosphere! I have sat in other sections, and though the fans cheer some, it is boring compared to being behind the army.
obstructed view
The game was excellent, but....
When I originally purchased these single game tickets there was no mention of them being obstructed view. The stadium has been in existence forever, they should know exactly which seats will have an obstructed view, and should indicate such at the time of purchase. UO did this when the BB team used Mac Court. If I would have known from the beginning, I would not have purchased the tickets. I did receive notice sometime after buying the tickets, and was given the opportunity to get my money back, which I did for 3 of the 5 games I purchased, but I did keep several thinking, "how bad could it be"? Well, we found out....we couldn't see the goal on the south end of the field. These tickets never should have been sold to the general public. If so, it shouldn't have been for $33 (including fees). Does anybody want to buy my remaining game?
