Leagues & Teams

The St. Paul Saints minor league baseball team - known for affordable seats, goofy promotions, and baseball-for-the-people fun - play home games at Midway Stadium. The team's "ushertainers" and mascots - Mudonna the pig, and her live swine pigpals - amuse fans at games.

Tickets can be purchased at the Midway box office, online, or by phone; a $1/ticket surcharge is levied on phone orders. Package options include mini-season passes (for as few as six games) and full-season tickets for all 48 home games.

Birthday Parties: For $13 per child and $14 per adult (with a ten-guest minimum), each partygoer gets a general admission ticket to a Saints home game; a voucher for a hot dog, popcorn, peanuts, and soda; and two vouchers for Kid Zone games. The birthday child also gets a Saints t-shirt and special pre-game welcome on the video board.

Summer Camps: The Saints offer three-day programs (with an optional fourth-day add-on) for kids ages six to 13. Call 651.644.6659 for more information. Camps run about four hours a day, and start at $150.

Newly-refurbished in 2006 - okay, completely transformed! - this formerly ho-hum municipal pool now features a zero-depth entry pool with a spraying, pouring, spouting interactive play structure; a water walk and water basketball and volleyball; two winding waterslides (sliders must be 48" tall); a plunge slide that dumps swimmers into the deep end; and a 25-yard lap pool.

Special events include tot-only and teen-only sessions, movie screenings, and more.

The indoor rink at the refurbished Old Milwaukee Road Depot is a unique place to skate. Set inside a restored Renaissance Revival-style truss-roofed train shed dating from 1899, it features floor-to-ceiling glass windows that fill the beautiful arena with natural light.

The rink is incorporated into a resort-style development with two Marriott hotels, a restaurant, meeting and event spaces, and an on-site water park. The rink is open to the public on a seasonal limited schedule.

Birthday parties: Packages start at $17 per guest, with a minimum of 10, and must be reserved well in advance. Skating, balloons, hot dogs or pizza, and soda are included; birthday cake is additional. No outside food or beverages may be brought in, but catering options are available.
