Target Field

Welcome to Twins Territory, the new, nationally recognized home of the Minnesota Twins. After 28 seasons at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, the Twins and its fans returned to the comforts of outdoor baseball on April 12, 2010.

With seating for more than 39,000, plus gorgeous views of downtown Minneapolis, it's no wonder that ESPN named it the No. 1 stadium experience for all four professional leagues. Lucky for us, both the offerings inside the ballpark and those nearby are more than enough to keep Twins fans happy.

Coming and Going

Driving Directions
From North: Travel southbound on I-35 and follow I-35W at the divide. Merge onto I-94 West and exit on Olson Memorial Highway (Highway 55). Turn right (East) after exiting then another right onto North 7th Street (Highway 55). You will see Target Field on your left.

From South: Travel northbound on I-35 and follow I-35W at the divide. Take the downtown exit and follow once it turns into 5th Ave S. Turn left at 7th Street S. and Target Field will be just beyond the Target Center and numerous parking ramps.

From East: Travel westbound on I-94 and exit on Olson Memorial Highway (Highway 55). Turn right (East) after exiting then another right onto North 7th Street (Highway 55). You will see Target Field on your left.

From West: Travel East on I-394 and exit on either 6th Street North or 4th Street North. You will find yourself a couple blocks from Target Field and ample parking in ramps and surface lots in the area.

Parking
With nearly 7,000 parking spaces around Target Field in the ABC/Hawthorne ramps, there are plenty of options. If you're planning to come early to the game and stay later after the game to enjoy a Twins win downtown, the A B C Ramps may be your best bet.

Still, be sure to plan ahead and get there early as parking fills up quick and downtown traffic can get a little congested.

Recommended parking for persons with disabilities is in the handicapped spaces in either the A Ramp or B Ramp. Both facilities have direct connections to Target Plaza and Target Field.

And since it's just a hop, skip and a jump from the old Twins home at the Metrodome, you might want to consider continuing to park where you did for Dome games.

Parking further away from Target Field will also help you exit the area more quickly.

You could also try your luck at the limited on-street, meter-controlled parking spots throughout downtown but they're few-and-far between and you'll probably need to walk a bit.

Buses/Light Rail
Target Field is just a bus or a train ride away with Metro Transit.

So much so that it even has its very own station. Target Field Station, the Hiawatha Line, offers fast, quiet light-rail service to 19 stations between downtown Minneapolis and Mall of America.

Newly added in 2014 is the use of the Metro Green Line, which goes from St. Paul Union Depot to Target Field. There are nearly two dozen stops between the ballpark and downtown St. Paul stations.

Dozens of bus routes are timed to connect with trains at Hiawatha Line stations and there are more than 2,800 parking spaces at 28th Avenue, Fort Snelling and Lake Street/Midtown stations. Buy an Event 6-Hour Pass for an easy round-trip.

For buses, Route 679 offers express service on I-394 to every home game. Most routes provide direct access to downtown Minneapolis with several routes stopping within one block of Target Field.
