St. Paul Saints

What St. Paul Saints does

The St. Paul Saints are a privately operated Minor League Baseball team playing in the International League as the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. Founded in 1993 and affiliated with the Twins since 2015, the team plays its home games at CHS Field, a 7,000+ seat ballpark in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. The Saints' primary product is live baseball entertainment supported by five revenue streams: ticket sales (single-game, season memberships, group outings, mini-packs, and an annual Ballpark Pass subscription), in-park concessions and merchandise, advertising and corporate sponsorships (including CHS Field naming rights and founding/webpage partner programs), event rentals and private venue bookings, and ancillary media/community events such as the Double Play 5K, Mudonna's Kids Club, and the "Funny In Theory" podcast.

There is no proprietary technology platform underpinning the business; operations are managed through standard MLB.com-affiliated digital ticketing, the Saints Rewards app, the milbstore.com team store, and conventional CRM/marketing channels (website, newsletter, organic social, Bally Sports broadcasts). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through CHS Field as the primary physical distribution point, with digital ticketing, merchandise e-commerce, and direct sales (season memberships, group/corporate packages) extending the reach. The customer base is segmented into individual fans and families (primary, persona-based) and corporate partners/event planners (secondary, B2B), with the Twins affiliation functioning as both a talent pipeline and a structural constraint on the team's business independence.
