About Target Field#
Target Field is an open-air baseball stadium in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the home ballpark of the Minnesota Twins. The stadium opened for the 2010 Major League Baseball season and replaced the Metrodome as the Twins’ primary venue.
Designed for Major League Baseball, the facility features natural grass, concourse amenities, and public plazas that integrate with the surrounding downtown area. It hosts regular-season baseball, concerts and special events, with seating configured primarily for baseball.
The ballpark sits in central Minneapolis adjacent to major transit connections and urban amenities, making it accessible from the city’s core and nearby neighborhoods.
- Home of the Minnesota Twins: Home stadium of the Minnesota Twins major league baseball team since it opened in 2010, replacing the Metrodome.
- Capacity and configuration: Official baseball seating capacity is about 38,500, with additional standing-room and event configurations that increase maximum attendance.
How to Get to Target Field#
Target Field sits in downtown Minneapolis beside Target Field Station. Take Metro Transit’s METRO Blue or Green light-rail lines to Target Field Station (the stop is adjacent to the ballpark); the Northstar commuter rail also terminates at Target Field. Multiple Metro Transit buses serve nearby downtown stops if you prefer surface transit, and the stadium is a very short (1-5 minute) walk from the station.
By car the ballpark is in the downtown Minneapolis core near Interstates I‑94 and I‑394; parking and event traffic procedures vary by game so follow signage and parking instructions on event days.
Tips for Visiting Target Field#
- Use the Target Field METRO station (Blue/Green lines) - it stops adjacent to the ballpark and is usually faster and less expensive than trying to find downtown parking.
- Arrive 45-60 minutes before first pitch to explore the outfield concourse and plazas and to get skyline photos before the stadium fills; this also shortens lines at team shops and concessions.
- To avoid the postgame crush, linger in the North Loop restaurants/bars for 20-30 minutes after the final out or leave by a different gate than most fans so you don't funnel into the light-rail crowd.
Best Time to Visit Target Field#
Best visited during the Twins' home season-late spring through summer-for warm weather and live baseball at the outdoor stadium.
