What is the capacity of Target Field?

Target Field, which opened in 2010, is an open-air jewel in downtown Minneapolis that brought baseball back to the elements. Known for its limestone facade, "Minnie and Paul" celebration sign, and some of the best local food in MLB, it offers a distinctively Minnesotan gameday experience.

🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

Lower-bowl sections between the bases are ideal for sightlines. The third-base side offers stunning views of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. For home runs, look for the "Catch" or the center field lounge.

Parking Tips

Light rail is the preferred way to arrive; the Target Field station serves both Blue and Green lines. If driving, the "ABC" ramps are connected to the stadium via skyway.

Game Day

Watch for the 46-foot tall "Minnie and Paul" neon sign in center field; the characters shake hands whenever a Twins player hits a home run. Sample local staples like Kramarczuk's sausages and Pizza Lucé.
