Starting Saturday and continuing throughout April, the St. Paul Saints will open CHS Field to the public for training activities as they start their first season as the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.

The activities will be held nearly every day in April — off days are April 4, 10, 17 and 24 — and feature either a morning or evening session with live batting practice and simulated games.

On April 8 they will host batting practice from 2-2:30 p.m. and then have a watch party for the Twins home opener against the Mariners.

Tickets will cost $5 per day.

A number of the Twins top prospects will be at the training site, including outfielders Alex Kirilloff and Trevor Larnach, infielder Nick Gordon and pitcher Jhoan Duran.

The Saints season starts May 4 at Omaha and their home campaign opens on April 11 against the Iowa Cubs to kickoff an 12-game home stand.
