A day at the ballpark
Target Field: a Minneapolis evening worth taking slowly
Local stone, the downtown view, and a very good reason to start your Twins visit on the plaza.
By Gamebook · Reviewed
Target Field's limestone comes from Kasota, Minnesota. That small fact changes the way you look at the building: the warm stone is part of the place, not just a pleasing finish. Give the outside a little attention before heading through a gate.
The Twins' home brings more local character into view once you arrive. The plaza, the center-field handshake, and a meal from a Minnesota name can make an ordinary game feel like a proper Minneapolis outing.
Begin with the glove on the plaza
Target Plaza has statues of Twins greats and an oversized bronze glove. It is a friendly place to begin a visit with children or to meet a relative who has a story attached to one of the players.
The glove makes an easy photograph, but the smaller details deserve a look too. Let the walk take the time your company wants. A first trip with family often starts becoming memorable before anyone has seen a pitch.

Look for the handshake
Minnie and Paul shake hands across the Mississippi on the center-field sign. It is an affectionate explanation of the Twin Cities idea, worth pointing out to someone learning the team for the first time.
The sign is also a useful landmark once inside: something specific to look toward or include in the view. A ballpark feels easier to know when its details start having names.

Make dinner part of the Minnesota visit
Minnie and Paul's serves Pizza Lucé and Red Cow. They are useful starting points for a meal with a local connection; check the current dining map before choosing where to eat.
A stadium dinner can be as much about company as food. Share something, compare opinions, and settle in before a stretch of baseball. If a meal downtown fits your plans better, the area around a Twins visit has plenty to offer before or afterward.

Take the train to the ballpark
Both METRO light rail lines stop at Target Field Station. The Green Line connects from St. Paul; the Blue Line gives another approach through Minneapolis. Use Metro Transit's current trip planner to see which works from where you are staying.
Pack for open-air baseball and the later innings, particularly on a cool evening. A comfortable layer lets you keep your attention on the game instead of counting down to somewhere warm. On a bright afternoon, check the row's sun exposure before buying.
