Target Field is the home ballpark of the Minnesota Twins, and is one of the newest and most modern parks in the nation. In its opening season in 2010, ESPN The Magazine named it the #1 baseball stadium experience in North America. In 2014, it hosted Major League Baseball All-Star Game. All of the stadium’s prestige is earned by its elaborate design and fan-centered experience.
With such a popular and swiftly-growing stadium making headlines and gaining nationwide notoriety, it’s important for the fans to stay aware of the best ways to arrive and find a good parking spot, including by purchasing spaces ahead of time. Target Field is located in downtown Minneapolis and, according to the MLB, the 40,000-capacity stadium only offers 20,000 spots. With this in mind, there are many key points that a fan must know if they want to get a good spot before the game.

Tailgating at Target Field
- Because Target Field is located in downtown Minneapolis, there isn’t ample space for tailgating events. Tailgating usually occurs in the Warehouse district, an area that is still within eyesight of the stadium.
- The city has dedicated the northeast portion of downtown as a tailgate-friendly zone. This portion travels north to south, from the Mississippi River to 6th street, and east to west from 11th Avenue to 4th Avenue.
- All tailgating areas correspond to the same rules. Namely:
- Sound-amplifying equipment is prohibited
- There can be no wood-burning fires
- Food must be prepared on charcoal or propane grills
- All trash must be thrown out in the trash bins provided before leaving for the game.

Handicapped parking is available to individuals with valid disability parking permits in these ramps as well as at parking meters on the street, and the Twins Ballpark surface parking lot.

Areas/Roads to avoid due to traffic

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I tailgate? If so, what are the rules?
- There is no tailgating around the stadium since there are only ramps, but areas such as the northeast portion of downtown offer lots specifically for tailgating, each with specific rules. The general tailgating rules apply, such as no littering and no occupying more than one parking space.
Is it better to take public transportation?
- There are many available uses of public transportation, notably the Route 17 MetroStation bus, that connect directly with the stadium and avoid the ramps. Because of the limited parking options, public transportation would be a very wise choice.
