Seems like forever before the Snausages vendor comes around to your section

Somehow when food is passed down this row, it never progresses beyond a certain point. Yes, that was a dog occupying a $275 front row seat behind home plate at the Twins home opener on Monday. Bullseye the Target dog — the mascot of the retail store chain — enjoyed a half-inning of action at brand bew Target Field, and then departed, presumably to his doggie limo. The marketing ploy may not have even been noticed outside of the stadium, except for a few dozens Twitter users at the game and subsequent report by SportsbyBrooks.
Fun facts: The original Target dog was American Kennel Club CH Kingsmere Moondoggie,, known as “Smudgie.”.Target has also attended the opening of the Iditarod, and was on the red carpet at the 2008 AFI Awards.


Minneapolis Star-Tribune:

“He was there after the [military jet] flyover [and] through the bottom of the first inning,” said Chris Iles, a Twins spokesman.

Bullseye was in one of Target’s corporate seats merely as “a fun element to commemorate the day,” said company spokeswoman Lena Michaud. “That was the vein in which it was intended.”

This is amusing.
Bullseye’s entrance music is the theme to the Little Rascals.

    That’s what I hate about everyone with the good seats. They get there late and leave early. Where’s the devotion, Bullseye??
