Barring an unforeseen change in my financial situation, I'm renewing. It defies logic considering people will be getting better seats at a 2 for 1 discount on the street, but I've really enjoyed going following the players growth and TCF in the autumn is really nice. But most of all, I'm bullish on the program. I'm also going to have an upgraded location.
I didn't renew my Twins seats because I saw Delmon Young give up on a ball and point to Ben Revere to get it even though he was closer, Joe Mauer refusing to DH and sit despite making $23M while his team needed him, poor conditioning with Francisco Liriano who could be an ace, Kevin Slowey's poor attitude, Danny Valencia is a showboat while being marginal at 3B, and it goes on. I'll still go to at least 5 games, but it will be when it is convenient for me and at a discount or free.
The football team got better and didn't quit. I see Coach Kill becoming a 4-0 or 3-1 non conference coach and a 3-5 to 5-3 conference coach and occasionally laying an egg 2-6 or special 6-2 conference team. I think 6-7 to 10-3 in the Big Ten is a good product. I don't think a program like West Virginia or Pitt could do better in our conference and we could match their records in the Big East. I predict that if Kill stays 10 years he will have us heading to a bowl and maybe conference championship game with a 10-2 record at least once during his tenure.
