A Few More Tips

Ready to rock? Here we go, after this quick word from my friends at Gametime (please support this great blog’s sponsors!)…

Gametime has your cheap Twins tickets…with a lowest price guarantee, panoramic seat view photos, and great last minute deals…even after the game starts!

(See why Ballpark E-Guides loves Gametime here!)

The Twins, like all teams, offer lots of high end seating to their corporate clients. That’s baseball. I’m not going to bother with the suites…if you can afford those, you don’t need my help. That said, there’s more info here if you’d like to know from the Twins directly.

I’m also not going to get into the party areas, since that’s worthy of a separate post. Here’s more from the Twins on that.

So then, let’s start with the best seats at Target Field, the Champions Club.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #1) Champions Club. The Champions Club is the 400 extra wide, higher back, comfortably cushioned seats behind home plate, in four sections of 12 rows each. They definitely stand out among the rest of the seats.

Not only is the view fantastic of course…the front row is just 50 feet from home plate…but of course it comes with “you or someone you work for has arrived” amenities. If you’ve never seen hitters practice in a batting cage, it’s pretty cool.

The Club itself is a spacious lounge that features artifacts from great Twins moments, including the two World Series trophies. There’s plenty of comfortable places to chill, and TVs everywhere to watch the game if it’s too cold outside.

 

There’s more…excellent complimentary food and drinks, except for the liquor and “premium” beer and wine, and you can order from your seat. You also get valet parking for every four tickets and a private entrance. If you’d like to visit the Thrivent Club, you can do that too.

Needless to say, these tickets aren’t cheap; the first row (Row A) is upwards of $300 per game, and it’s only available through season ticket plans. So if you’d like to try these out, you’ll have to go third party…see this post for help with that, especially choosing a contest.

If you’re lucky enough to land a Champions Club seat, save room for dessert!

 

Target Field Seating, Part #2) Thrivent Club Seating. Like most teams, the Twins recognize that baseball fans love bird’s eye views, and they offer premium seating just above the field level.

The Thrivent Club seats are between home plate and third base, and are fairly close to the action, although they are mostly behind the 100 level seating. The seats are cushioned and low by club seating standards, and there are only ten rows, making for less traffic.

The seats on the third base side especially offer a first class view with the city backdrop, although I love the view of the impressive scoreboard on the first base side too. The real advantage, though, especially in the Minneapolis climate, is access to a spacious climate-controlled bar and lounge area. No small thing, private restrooms.

 

The lounge features sections dedicated to Twins greatness like the Carew Atrium and Club 573 (Harmon Killebrew’s home run total). There are plenty of high end food and drink options, although it’s not complimentary here. You can also watch the game from inside the club, while sitting along a drink rail.

The Twins casually mention that you can sometimes find Twins alumni in the Thrivent Club; they feature photo sessions from time to time.

Again, the Thrivent Club is only for season ticket holders, so you’ll need to go through a third party like Gametime for a single game. But if you can find something around or under triple digits, it’s well worth it, especially if the weather isn’t conducive to baseball.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #3) Field Level (100) Seating. The lower level of Target Field is divided into multiple sections and price ranges, but they fall under three general categories.

Dugout Box Infield and Dugout Box sections are closest to the field; Dugout Box Infield are on either side of the Champions Club sections. They aren’t as large or wide, but they do have cushions.

They‘re great seats, of course, but there’s the extra bonus of access to the First and Third Base lounges. Which means shorter lines for food and bathrooms and an escape from the elements. You do have to descend a flight of steps to get to the clubs, though.

If you want to offer encouragement to either team, the Twins dugout is on the first base side. Incidentally, if you have Row 5 behind a dugout, that’s the first row.

 

Home Plate Box and Infield Box seats are behind the Champions Club and Dugout Box seats; those sections typically have about 15 rows so you’re still pretty close. These are the best seats that aren’t considered “premium” at Target Field, and are priced accordingly.

These are bigger sections too (with multiple price ranges) so there’s more traffic. They elevated the sections above the Dugout sections nicely; you shouldn’t have a problem with people walking in front of you.

 

I’ll talk more about shade later, but Rows 13 and up in these sections are generally under the overhang, for rain and sun protection. Don’t go too high up though, or you won’t be able to see the scoreboard or skyline, a worthy part of the Target Field experience.

Compared to higher end seating that isn’t much closer, these are a pretty good deal. You might be able to score a nice price on a low demand night. There’s plenty of great food in the concourses too.

 

The Diamond Box and Field Box sections are down the baselines, with Field Box in the corners. They’re further away from home plate, but you can get closer to the field, and they’re nicely angled towards the infield.

More than anywhere else in Target Field, with Diamond and Field Box, which corner you choose depends on your view preferences; the impressive scoreboard over left field, or the stunning cityscape past right field. Twins fans talk about this a lot.

If you’re a foodie, what you’ll be close to could figure into your decision too; Papa Pete’s donuts are closer to right field, while Red Cow burgers are closer to left field, for example. You can use the MLB Ballpark app and this post to learn more about that.

The incline in these sections is less steep, so there could be a problem if your kid sits behind a tall person like me. I’m a nice guy though, so I’ll switch if you need me to.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #4) Other Mezzanine Level Seating (+ Legends Landing). Other than the Thrivent Club sections on the mezzanine level, you’ll see four sections in the left field corner. These are called the Legends Landing. The right field corner features suites, including the Sensory Suite, which I’ll discuss in the Accessible section.

In addition to a nice view of the Minneapolis skyline, Legends Landing seats include all you can eat of what the Twins call “a comprehensive assortment of ballpark delicacies”. In other words, hot dogs, burgers, chicken tenders, popcorn, peanuts, chips, soda, juice, etc. No alcohol unfortunately.

 

That’s a decent enough selection, certainly so for the price range. As I write this, a Legends Landing seat is just $39 for Extra Value games. I can easily put away $39 worth of food at ballpark prices. It’s a great spot for families, and the Twins market it as such.

In addition, since the concessions area is roped off, only Legends Landing ticket holders can access it, so there are short lines especially since you don’t have to show a credit card.

Again, save some room for dessert; they offer ice cream bars and such too.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #5) Terrace Level (200-300) Seating.

The upper level of Target Field consists of what the Twins call “Terrace” (200) and “View” (300) sections. Like many modern ballparks, the upper tier is high up because of open concourses and suite level seating, but the view is still pretty good. Seats are steep up here too, so it might be troublesome for the acrophobic.

Ticket prices are based on proximity to home plate, so View seats in the corners are among the cheapest seats at Target Field. Being behind home plate is best, but Target Field is overall very nice to look at from anywhere. Many fans prefer the third base side for the skyline view.

 

It’s worth shelling out a few extra bucks for Terrace seats. There are fewer rows (eight) in the Terrace section, and the view is better. For View level, you have to use a walkway above the concourse, so it takes some steps to get to your seat. It can be inconvenient; I recommend picking up your food before going to your seat.

Speaking of that, the concourse is much narrower on the upper level than on the lower level. Lines get longer and it gets more crowded, especially on high attendance nights, another reason to grab your grub early.

 

That said, View sections are mostly covered by the impressively large roof, so fans are protected from the rain and sun at least. It most definitely can get hot in the summer here, so that’s a nice bonus. (Again, more about shade in a bit.)

Minneapolis weather is what it is. I can tell you from personal experience that the wind can be fierce. It can be rough enough in April that in 2024 the Twins closed off the upper level for the whole month.

 

If the weather is challenging, you can duck into the Twins Pub that takes up much of the first base side of the concourse. You can order a drink and watch the game through the windows inside, although you might have to stand behind people. And say hi to Sue Nelson, the longtime organist for the Twins. She’s a sweetheart and greets everyone.

Finally, Section 324 in left field is the “TickPick Family Section”, which is alcohol-free and includes a free hot dog and Pepsi with your ticket. Not great seats, but a fair deal for the kids.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #6) Lower Outfield Seats – Left Field Bleachers, Cove, Dock + Corona Patio.

The Twins know that people who sit in the outfield like to have a good time, and they designed Target Field accordingly. There are many flavors of outfield seats here, each with their own style. So here’s the skinny on all of them…

The Left Field Bleachers are benches tucked under the Home Run Deck sections. The seats do have backs, so Wrigley it’s not. Given their location, they’re among the cheaper seats at Target, so you’ll see a lot of families here. The upper rows are also almost entirely covered and protected from the elements, and you can bring a cushion.

 

Another cool feature of the Left Field bleachers, especially Section 131, is their proximity to the bullpens. Watching pitchers warm up from up close is really cool, and you can shout friendly encouragement too. If this matters to you, the Twins bullpen is in the back.

That said, you have no view of the impressive scoreboard here, and in the higher rows you don’t see much of the skyline either. There are TVs, but you probably have one of those at home. If you prefer the views, I would look elsewhere. It’s great if there’s a rain delay, but that’s not something you hope for.

 

The Treasure Island Cove sections are under the Grandstand in right center field. You may have noticed that these seats have wooden backs on them (like the Thrivent Club seats)…which, so I’m told, was to blend in with the color scheme. It does that nicely, but the seats aren’t any more comfortable.

Like the Left Field Bleachers, the Cove seats are almost entirely undercover. There are only four rows, but you’ll have a better view of everything in the first row (including deep outfield plays). And again, there are TVs, which are closer to you here.

One nice feature of the Cove, aside from its proximity to great donuts, is the mounted overhead heaters. If you’re an outfield sort, it makes for a good inexpensive choice in September. It’s also mostly shielded from the wind.

 

The Overlook sections are to the right of the Cove. Unlike the Cove though, these sections are completely out in the open…true bleachers in that sense. These seats offer a better overall view of everything without the overhang, but you’ll also be more in the sun and wind.

This section actually juts out eight feet over the field somewhat, in a nod to Tiger Stadium. Balls that hit the façade are in play, so don’t pull a Jeffrey Maier. Before the game the Overlook is an excellent spot for batting practice home runs, but you don’t need a ticket for that.

One nice thing about the Overlook is that it’s just in front of the Target Plaza, where the Twins often have activities for kids (and sometimes discounted food and drinks). If your little ones get bored easily, it might be a good spot. Tickets are very cheap.

 

In the back of the Overlook area, the Twins built a small, interesting looking spot called “The Dock”. This is exclusive seating for groups of 12, with tickets going for around triple digits per person.

You do get a lot for the money with your not-so-great view…a $30 concessions credit, and very comfortable and large swivel chairs, and access to “lakeside” style food. (Minnesota thing, see.) Like with the Overlook seats, keep in mind these are among the last to see shade.

 

Next to the Dock in the right field corner is the Corona Right Field Porch, which is also for groups. These are nice for your baseball party, with stools and drink rail counters. Each ticket comes with a small concessions credit, and the price isn’t too bad given the value of drink rails.

The location offers some advantages, being close to the Target Plaza and its activities being one, and it’s easy to duck into the concourse in right field. You also will want to sit somewhere where the foul pole isn’t in your way.

The Right Field Porch sections are mostly for groups, so you have to go through the Twins for that, but they do sell individual tickets from time to time.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #7) Upper Outfield Seats – Delta SKY360 Suite, Home Run Deck + Grandstand.

Not enough outfield seating info for you? We’ve still got a second deck to cover, stay with me…

The left field sections under the impressive scoreboard make up the Home Run Deck, although I wouldn’t expect to catch a homer there. In the upper upper seats especially, you might not even know whether a hit is a home run until you hear crowd reaction.

There are two tiers, so to speak, which like the upper level elsewhere are also called “Terrace” and “View”. And again, Terrace seats are significantly better, with fewer rows and far fewer steps to get to your seat.

 

The View sections get pretty high up and are very steep, and you’re pretty far from the action. But it’s got some nice things about it. They’re among the cheapest seats in Target Field, for one. And not to harp on that skyline view too much, but it’s very impressive from this standpoint. The big scoreboard is behind you, though.

This area is close to great concessions; there’s a Red Cow, Pizza Luce, big cheese curds and great dessert choices nearby, and the Town Ball Tavern with wacky cocktails is close too. If you like to go cheap and use money for grub, this is a good spot…and if you choose View seats, you’ll definitely burn some calories using the numerous steps.

Home Run Deck seats are uncovered and face the setting sun, which is nice in the colder months but can be rough in July.

 

That center field area under the ultra-cool Minnie and Paul neon sign is actually two sections. The Delta Sky360 Suite is the lower portion; it’s an exclusive area for season ticket holders. You can try Gametime for this if you want to check it out.

Despite its distance from the action, there are some cool amenities…all-inclusive high end food and drinks from a changing menu, lounge seating (no view of the field with that), and barstools with drink rails. You can even order food from your seat. You can start grubbing tough two hours before the game.

For the record though, there’s no climate-controlled lounge or private bathroom, but for the price (somewhere around triple digits) and what’s included it’s not a bad deal.

 

Above the Delta Suite is what is now called the Cutwater Cocktail Bar; there’s no seating here per se, just barstools and tables. And of course, a cocktail bar. It’s now open to all guests, so for socializing sorts it could be a nice spot. If you have a standing room ticket, you can grab a barstool seat if you’re on time.

Like the left field sections, the center field spots are close to Red Cow and Pizza Luce.

 

Then there’s that odd-looking Grandstand in right center field, above the Cove seats. It always struck me why the highest seats are furthest from home plate; the nice Target Field tour guide informed me it was to maximize the tiny space Target Field was built into. Fair enough.

Bring some energy for these sections; you will travel up quite a few steps to get to them. I also would avoid these if you’re acrophobic or prone to vertigo; the seats here are probably the steepest in the ballpark and can be nerve-wracking to descend. The highest section (237) has 22 rows, and you will be quite far from the action at that point.

 

You’ll also encounter some view issues here; many of the seats miss a portion of the outfield, and you may have to judge what happened by crowd reaction (it’s not terribly bad). You’ll also have your back to the skyline view, and it’s among the last places to see shade for a night game.

Sold yet? Okay, they’re not the best seats. But they’re cheap, make for great exercise, and are close to the gate at the B parking lot, if you want a quick exit. It’s also a popular spot during batting practice; a few homers will land up there.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #8) Best Standing Room Spots. If the Twins are good, they could sell out a few games, especially on summer weekends against a high value opponent like the Cubs. When they do, they’ll make a few standing room tickets available, and your options are many and actually pretty good.

For locals, the Twins also offer the Twins Pass, which includes free standing room tickets for a month; you can use the thing all year if you like. It’s a sweet deal if you use it for enough games. Go on the giveaway nights and you’ll make out like a bandit.

Were I presented with standing room tickets at Target Field, my first move would probably be to one of the lounge areas in the left field corner. The lowest tier is the Gray Duck Deck, the second tier is the Summit Brewing Pub, and the Budweiser Roof Deck is the top level. The Bud Roof Decks is for groups, but the rest is open to all ticket holders.

 

There are plenty of spots at the Gray Duck Deck and Summit Brewing Pub to sit and rest your food/drinks, including barstools and drink rails with a view of the field. You can also hang out at the center field bar area.

These are popular places though. For sold out games, you would have to arrive early to stake out a good spot near the left field foul pole. Both areas also feature comfortable seating inside around the bar, albeit without a view of the field.

There are standing spots behind most all of the outfield seating, including some drink rails behind the Cove and Corona Corner, popular SRO spots. The Cove is in the shade, the Corona Corner is not. If you don’t mind being higher up, there are counters behind the Home Run Deck.

 

If being in the left field corner or outfield doesn’t work for you, you can find a spot in the lower concourse, and possibly a drink rail. The drawback is that with the overhang you won’t see the scoreboard, skyline or fly balls. You could move towards the outfield for a better view.

Not done yet…you can also use the Truly On Deck restaurant in the upper level of right field. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so you have weather options. The view isn’t great, but there are barstools and counters. I don’t know if you have to eat there or not, but no one bothered me when I visited.

 

Even when games sell out, some fans roam, and in the lower corners and upper deck especially ushers aren’t very tough on seat poaching by most accounts. It might be different for a sold out night, just know your limitations.

Here’s a pro tip I read and probably shouldn’t share, so you didn’t hear this from me. If you have standing room tickets, check the MLB Ballpark app and see if there are seats available. That way you can find a seat that no one’s bought. Hey, at least you bought a ticket.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #9) Where To Find Shade at Target Field. Minneapolis can get hot in the summer. That said, there are also days where you’d prefer to be in the sun than in the shade. You can get more in depth about finding shade at Target Field, but here are some general tips.

The sun sets on the first base side of the ballpark, closer to home plate, and this affects day games as well as night games. For evening games the first base side is in the shade earlier, and day games see shade on that side earlier in the afternoon.

Shade, or lack of it, is a reason premium seats allow access to climate controlled lounges: Champions Club seats see very little shade especially for day games, so you’ll probably want to duck into the Club at times. The upper rows (starting about Row 9) of the Thrivent Club seats are covered during day games, again more so on the first base side.

 

On the lower level, again, the first base side is better for shade, and the upper rows (starting about Row 15) are covered by the overhang, including on the third base side. For day games, lower rows on the third base side will be in the sun the whole game.

Left Field Bleachers are shaded in the upper rows, but the first 5-6 rows are directly facing the sun early in night games. The Cove’s upper rows are covered, making it a popular spot in the summer.

 

With the large upper level roof, much of the View (300) sections are in the shade for day games, especially from home plate to right field. If you want to be on the third base side, go for a higher row. As the afternoon goes on, the Terrace (200) sections see more shade; the left field corner sections are the last to be in the sun.

In the upper outfield, the Home Run Porch seats are facing the sun and uncovered, and it can be really annoying on a hot summer evening. The Grandstand seats, Overlook and Corona Patio are also unprotected from sun for day games, although you won’t be directly facing the sun.

Remember, being in the sun can be a good thing here, so read this backwards if you’re seeking a warmer spot in April.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #10) Accessible Seating at Target Field. Like I said, I’m not going to get into the details about the suites. They’re nice seats with a heater overhead, and include lots of cool stuff like the Champions Club seats.

But I will give a shout to the United Healthcare Sensory Suite. The Twins dedicate a suite for those who for neuroatypical reasons need to escape the noise or other factors of the ballpark environment. The suite offers sensory kits, toys and features for the kids. You can also view the game from the suite or the attached balcony.

A nice thing for them to do, offering an actual suite for fans in need.

 

As far as accessible seating, there are wheelchair areas behind multiple sections throughout the ballpark, including for premium seating and in the outfield. These spots have electrical outlets, and the Twins will supply folding chairs for anyone not requiring a wheelchair. In the Cove section, there is a handicapped area with no seating in front of it.

All of the accessible areas in the lower level are in the back and well-protected from the sun and rain. This isn’t the case in the Terrace level and Home Run Deck, so choose accordingly.

 

Target Field Seating, Part #11) A Few More Tips. Not enough information for you? Really? You’re my kind of fan! So I’m offering a few more seating tips:

I’ve found precious little about obstructed views at Target Field, but there are a couple of things. As I’ve mentioned, a lot of the upper rows of outfield seating miss a portion of the outfield. There are also some problems in right field corner, where tucked away seats lose a lot of the outfield.

This is a very small number of seats, though. In my opinion, the worst seats for view problems are the seats under overhangs that block the scoreboard and skyline.

First rows of sections throughout the ballpark have railings in front of them, and this may require you to lean a lot to see the action.

 

In the colder months, if you need to warm up, you have a few options: there are heaters at the entrances of most sections, and the numerous lounge areas are usually warm and dry too. Minnesota gets the most rain in June and July. During these months, it might be a consideration to find covered seats…see the shade section.

Facing the field, Seat 1 is always on the right side of a section. Something to be mindful of to avoid late arrivals blocking your view.

 

I’m not sure if the Twins still do this, but seats on the third base side could cost a couple bucks more than on the first base side, since people love the downtown Minneapolis view so much. Secondary market prices somewhat reflect this, so people seem to think it’s worth it. As I’ve said, I find the huge scoreboard just as impressive, so it doesn’t matter to me.

You can find escalators to the upper level near the corners, but there are also 13 elevators to make it easy to get to the upper levels. They’re all around the ballpark, but mostly in the foul territory sections.

If you’re sitting in the Thrivent Club or on that level, Parking Ramp A includes a “skyway” walkway directly to the Club level. Nice and convenient. Not a bad idea to choose your parking accordingly. (I’ll put up a post about parking soon.)

 

There you are my baseball fan and ballpark roadtripper friends! Everything you need to know to pick the best seats at Target Field for your taste and budget. I hope you enjoyed the read and found it helpful.

Be sure to learn how to get cheap Twins tickets, and there’s some great local grub at Target Field too.
