Target Field Guide - The Minnesota Twins New Ballpark
Target Field is the new gem of a baseball stadium for the Minnesota Twins. From what I can gather, fans in Minnesota have been clamoring for an open air ballpark; because it feels more like baseball. Now let's be clear; I love the Twins' fans and the Twins' fans love me. However, did you forget that you live in Minnesota? The Twins are no strangers to October baseball, and I would have to imagine that those games will be played in frosty temperatures. I guess the moral of the story is to grab a Snuggie and go enjoy some baseball.
Target Field Guide - The Minnesota Twins New Ballpark
The seating capacity of Target Field is 39,504, which is about 15,000 less than the old Metrodome. I guess in part that is because the Twins have widened some of their seats and in case,granted a join extra inches of leg room. As a ballpark patron, I see both of these as big benefits to Target Field. Americans continue to get fatter, and rather than curse the darkness, the Minnesota Twins decided to light a candle in the form of more spacious seating at Target Field.
Here are some ways you as a fan can go to a Twins game and save money:
1. Buy tickets to "value" games at Target Field. The Twins isolate games on their schedule into 3 categories, based on date and opponent. The cheapest of the 3 types of games are known as value games. If you plan ahead, make sure that you go to the game on a value date, and you will ensure you get the cheapest tickets available.
2. Find free parking near Target Field. This is an selection at most stadiums, but you can be best ready because of the helpful resources ready to you. Metered parking varies in the estimate of time that it is in effect. For instance, some meters stop being monitored at 6pm while others are in result until 10 pm. If you know where to look, you can all the time look for a meter that ends at 6pm and park there for free on a week night Twins game. There are maps ready to show you the best streets to find free parking on.
3. Bring your own food into the stadium. The Twins allow you to bring food and bottled water with you into the stadium. You can't bring a hard cooler, but a soft cooler would be just fine. The only thing they ask is that you don't take your food into any club or restaurant areas of Target Field. If you don't want to pay the high ballpark prices for food, this can save you a fortune. Pack your own lunch!
Certainly there are other ways to save money at Target Field, but these are some of the most notable.
