St Paul Saints All You Need to Know About Your First Game at CHS Field

In Minneapolis, if you want to see a baseball game go to a Twins game. But in St. Paul, the only team you need to see is the St. Paul Saints. The Saints are not affiliated with Major League Baseball.

They are part of the North Division of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball. I dare you to say that 10 times fast. Going to a St. Paul Saints game is baseball at its finest. Here is all you need to know about your first game at CHS Field.

This post was sponsored by Carrie the Moment. I received free admission to a game in exchange for this post. This in no way affects my opinions.

All About the St. Paul Saints

What is CHS Field?

CHS Field is the home of the St. Paul Saints Baseball Club. It is in the Lowertown neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota, and opened in 2015.

What are the features of CHS Field?

CHS Field features a grass surface, a unique LED video display, the left-field picnic lawn, the Securian Club, and a memory lane honoring iconic moments and people in Saints history.

When was CHS Field built?

CHS Field was built in 2015.

What the Heck is the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball?

The league started as a minor league for larger cities in 1902. They included the St. Paul Apostles and the Minneapolis Millers, along with other Midwest teams.

They introduced players like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. Over the years, teams left to join Major League Baseball.

In 2005, they regrouped and formed the new association with other teams in the Midwest, Texas, and Winnipeg.

Of all the different teams in the league, the St. Paul Saints have doubled, if not tripled, the crowds of other teams. When you go to a game, you’ll know why.

Is Bill Murray really an owner?

The St. Paul Saints have a few owners, but the most recognized name is Bill Murray. He has been with the team since its inception in 1993.

His official title is Team Psychologist, but to my knowledge, he doesn’t have a Ph.D. Mr. Murray is a jack of all trades, doing things like coaching the bases, boosting morale, and train spotting.

Bill is busy and won’t be at all the games. But when he’s in town, he often swings by and helps.

Saint Paul Saints Game Day

With so much going on on game day, it is hard to know where to start. If you get there early, start with a little tailgating. If you aren’t prepared, don’t worry, there is always a party in front of the field.

Can you tailgate at CHS Field?

The Saints have a designated tailgating lot at Lafayette St and Prince St, just off Kellogg Blvd. Parking is $8 and fans can bring grills, food, and drinks. You can reserve a parking spot ahead of time on the Saints website.

City of Baseball Museum

Before the game, stop in to see the City of Baseball Museum inside CHS Field along the third base side. It’s free and air-conditioned.

Baseball fans will love the memorabilia from past leagues. It is a great look at how much baseball is part of Minnesota’s history.

Who are some of the team’s most famous players?

1. Darryl Strawberry – former New York Mets and Yankees star who played for the Saints in 1996 and 1997.
2. Kevin Millar – former Boston Red Sox first baseman who played for the Saints in 2010.
3. Ila Borders – the first woman to play in a men’s professional baseball league, played for the Saints in 1997 and 1998.
4. Jack Morris – former Minnesota Twins pitcher and Hall of Famer, played for the Saints in 1996.
5. Mark Hamburger – former Major League pitcher who played for the Saints from 2013 to 2016 and set several team records.
6. J.D. Drew – former Major League outfielder who played for the Saints in 1998 before being called up to the St. Louis Cardinals.

In-Game Entertainment

Saints games have a reputation for being a lot of fun, with games and activities between innings.

The Saints changed how Minnesotans enjoy baseball. They have a team dedicated to entertaining the crowd. Yes, there is a mascot pig named Mudonna.

Entertainers break out during the game and between innings to keep you engaged. Think of what the Twins do with TC and multiply it by nine. These entertainers are out in the stands acting like cheerleaders.

If you can, visit on a special event night. We attended Disco Premonition Night. They celebrated disco all night and paid homage to when one owner ran a “death to disco” promotion for a Chicago White Sox game. Fans brought disco records to be blown up between a doubleheader. Things got out of control and they had to forfeit the second game when fans stormed the field.

For the Saints, they showed their love of disco and hosted a post-game dance party on the field for everyone. Watch for events like this throughout the season. As of 2025, check the official St. Paul Saints website for the latest promotions and themed nights.

Is CHS Field kid-friendly?

Yes. CHS Field is family-friendly. There is a dedicated Kids’ Zone on the concourse and fans of all ages are welcome.

What food and beverages are served at CHS Field?

CHS Field has a wide range, including the infamous “Shatter Dome” concrete custard, ham-wrapped cheese curds, and Juicy Lucys.

Each stand has its own theme, plus classics like chicken fingers and hot dogs. We even found Philly cheesesteaks and Chicago dogs. Everything tasted as good as it smelled. Outside food and drinks are not allowed, except a sealed bottle of water.

Use the Saints app to have food delivered to your seat. You can order beer, soda, and snacks. Enter your seat number and wait for delivery. No excuse to run out of beer.

Parking at CHS Field

There are parking lots around the stadium. Many lots are not right next to the field, and Capital City Pedicabs can get you to your lot. We snagged a spot on Prince Street, in front of the tailgating lot. It was $10 and right next to the field.
