C5’s Take
The Knights were the most popular minor-league baseball team last year, with 687,715 fans and 31 sellouts. We appreciate the extra seats — we stood a lot last year — but hate the thought of higher ticket prices. With (albeit great) craft beer and fancier concessions, a Knights game is no cheap date anymore. BTW, season opens with a game against MLB’s White Sox. We already have tickets.
