Do not let the "for profit" leagues steer you away.  The Northwoods League is run very well and teams are individually owned.  Son played for Lacrosse (WI) and absolutely loved it.   The NWL most mimics the Milb in that there can be long bus rides and only one day off each month besides the 2 days at the All Star break.   If you can hack it there, you can manage milb.  I believe the cost was ~$750 several years ago which includes uniforms.  They had host families.  The 3 fields that we saw were very nice.  Attendance was better than our local AA team.   Scouts were in attendance at the games we went to.   Food was brought in every night for dinner from local restaurants and all you can eat free Dairy Queen any time you wanted.  ...

 

This (the bolded) is the sort of stuff you need to drill down to if given the choice.  What does the fee include?  Heck, free dinner for a 20 y.o. for a whole summer, plus host families taking the hit on utility bills for laundry loads can be worth a fortune.

On the other hand, we've seen scenarios where the costs started to approach $2K and did not include meals.   That's when it starts to really not make sense, IMO.
