As is the case at sports venues everywhere, it's remarkably easy to burn through a ton of cash at the new ballpark.
Start with $3.75 for a hot dog, $5 for a brat. Soft drinks cost a minimum of $4, while a beer goes for $7.50.
More exotic fare is even more expensive. An asian stir-fry costs $8.50, a Cuban sandwich has a $9 sticker. A cheeseburger (granted, with fries) will set you back $9.25.
For those who want to keep score, a scorecard costs a buck - and a pencil to fill it out runs 50 cents.
The Twins did hand out one freebie to every paying customer Monday: The Original Opening Day Homer Hankie, evoking the team's championship runs in 1987 and 1991.
