Our least favorite seats
Most 300 Level Seats
The 300 level is fine, you can often find tickets in the 100 or 200 levels for a slightly higher price. We say be patient and keep shopping.
Outfield 300 Level
You’ll get blasted by the sun for most day games, and the view isn’t that great. The concessions and amenities aren’t as good here either.
Left Field Bleachers
They get a lot of sun, and they are metal bleachers with no armrests. And for night games, the seats towards the back feel really dark.
Target Field Seating Overview
In this section, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive guide to the various seating options available at Target Field, including the main seating sections, premium seating options, and some great standing room/general admission areas as well.
Lower Bowl Non-Premium (100 Level)
When you look at the seating chart on the Twins website, you’ll see a lot of colors and section names on their chart—37 different colors to be exact, 20 of which are in the lower bowl–which would make it seem like choosing a seat would be wildly complicated. Dugout Infield Box, Dugout Box, Home Plate Box, Infield Box, Diamond Box… it’s all madness!
But for the most part, all of these seating designations are nothing but noise. The lower level essentially has eight areas:
- Dugout Boxes (Sections 1-6 and 11-17)
- Lower Level Baselines (Sections 101-127)
- Left Field Bleachers (Sections 128-131)
- Treasure Island Cove – Right Field (Sections 132-135)
- The Overlook (Sections 136-138)
- Corona Right Field Patio (Sections 139-140)
- Gray Duck Deck (reviewed in Standing Room Only Areas)
- Thompson Reuters Champions Club (Sections 7-10, reviewed in Premium Seating)
Dugout Boxes (Sections 1-6, 11-17)
The Dugout Box seats are right at field level into both shallow left and right fields, and have access to exclusive lounges (restrooms + concession area) down the first and third baselines next to sections 1 and 17. But pay attention to that word “access,” because that’s all they have—access. No food or beverages are included with these tickets—everything is available for purchase, so it’s important to not overpay for these tickets thinking that they include anything but a fantastic seat close to the field and an easy place to buy a drink.
Lower Level Baselines (Sections 101-127)
The general bowl seats are sections 101-127. No matter what the Twins call them, they’re all the same standard seats. The only difference is how far away they are from home plate, and how far away they are from the field. Don’t bother paying attention to any other labels: if you’re looking to sit in the main bowl, just find the seats as close to home plate and as close to the field as you want or as your budget will allow for.
Left Field Bleachers (Sections 128-131)
These metal bleachers may not offer the same level of comfort as regular seats, but they put you in prime home run territory with an up-close view of the game from the outfield. Also, this section overlooks the bullpen in left-center field, allowing you to watch the relief pitchers as they warm up. The seats in the higher rows can feel a little dark, but they’re fully in the shade, which can be helpful. If you want seats a little more in the open, go for the lower rows closer to the field.
Treasure Island Cove – Right Field (Sections 132-135)
These seats are above the large outfield wall in right-center field. They are small sections with only four rows each and they are partially shaded while tucked back toward the concourse. It can be difficult to see balls hit into center or right field in these seats, but there are large TV monitors in front of each section to help track the game. As outfield seats go, we like them because they are elevated above the field and are easy to get from the seats to the concourse. Plus, the donut stand is right behind these seats!
The Overlook – Right Field (Sections 136-138)
These sections are called “The Overlook” or “The Dock”, and they are located in right field between the Cove and the Corona Right Field Patio. Unlike the lower left field sections, you get an actual seat in 136-138, not just a bleacher spot.
The down side of these sections is that thanks to Target Field’s high right field wall, you might miss out on seeing those deep fly balls to right or right-center. But the upside is that you’re also in prime home run territory. So we think the plusses and minuses even out. Unlike The Cove seats, these are not under the overhang, so for day games they will get a little toasty.
Corona Right Field Patio (Sections 139-140)
These seats are directly behind the right field foul pole, so you would be in prime home run territory. This section has metal chairs with a countertop, which is great for setting down food and drinks. However, they can get very hot in the sun, and the chairs aren’t very comfortable for hours of sitting. It’s a decent spot if you want the counter space for a night game, but beware of the sun for day games.
200 and 300 Level Baselines (Sections 201-228 and 301-327)
The 200 and 300 levels share the same concourse. The difference is that from the concourse, the 200 level seats are below you, and the 300 level seats are above you. And beyond that, the 200 level has only four to seven rows in each section, while the 300 level sections are 14 rows deep. Essentially, the 300 level seats are the nosebleeds, but the 200 level is, well… actually not that bad! If you’re going to sit upstairs, sitting in the 200s rather than the 300s can definitely make a difference, so we recommend springing for the upgrade. But if your budget calls for the 300 level, it’s completely fine.
Once again, disregard the multitude of section labels that the Twins use to segment these sections. The only thing unique on the 200/300 level is the Family section (324), where alcohol isn’t allowed, and the Twins Pub (formerly 2 Gingers Bar) located behind home plate.
TSI TIP: be wary of sitting in the front row of the 200 level, as the railing in front of these seats can interfere with your view (depending on how tall you are). Also note that it can get a bit windy up in the 300 level.
US Bank Home Run Porch (Sections 229-234, 237-240)
These sections, known as the US Bank Home Run Porch, are decent seats in the outfield, and as the name implies, home run balls come this way—usually more in the 229 and 230 sections than the others. The jumbotron will be behind you in these seats, so that’s a drawback as you’ll have to turn around to see the between-innings entertainment and replays. These aren’t the greatest seats in the world, but as upper level outfield seats go, they’re not bad. Target Field is an intimate ballpark with a small footprint, so you will still feel like you’re engaged with the game up here.
Treasure Island Home Run Deck View (Sections 329-334)
Unlike the 300 levels near the first and third base, these seats don’t have a canopy, so expect a sunny and breezy experience. These sections are usually sparsely populated for regular-season games, as you can often find deals on other sections with a better view (like the 200-levels).
Thompson Reuters Champions Club (Sections 7-10)
These are the best seats in the house, right behind home plate. Tickets in the Champions Club come with an impressive complimentary buffet, as well as free beer, seltzers and soft drinks (hard liquor is available for purchase), served inside of the club dining area underneath the 100 level concourse (right behind the club seating area). They also include in-seat wait service, allowing you to experience the high life at the ballpark. Plus, you might even find yourself appearing on the TV broadcast, adding an extra touch of excitement, so remember to set your DVR at home.
We tried out these seats, and we were not disappointed. The club itself is a nice area—there’s plenty of seating available at both tables and the bar area, and even when it’s full it doesn’t feel crowded. The food inside of the club was really top notch, and there was a huge variety. Honestly, if there was any problem, it’s that we could have eaten ourselves into the next week.
The Twins have really invested in this club, and the food presentation, quality, and variety was absolutely befitting of calling this a “premium club.” Sure, limiting the open bar to just beer and seltzers seems a little cheap given the typical price tag of the seats, and if you’re a hard alcohol drinker, then you may not get as much value for your money since you’ll have to buy those drinks on top of the money you already spent on the ticket. But if you’re a beer, wine, or seltzer drinker, then you’re just fine. One thing we especially loved was the self-service soft serve machine, with a make-it-yourself collection of toppings. Shoot us… we’re biased: ice cream is a weak spot over here, and unlimited ice cream may be our biggest weak spot of all.
It’s important to note that these premium seats are not available as single-game tickets through the Twins ticket office: they are only available as a full season ticket from the team. But those ticket holders will often resell the games they can’t use on ticket resale sites such as SeatGeek or StubHub. But be prepared, as the prices can often range from $300-$500 or more. If you watch closely you can sometimes find a deal, especially during the week or for games against lesser opponents. If you do find them at a good price, don’t hesitate to buy them—we think they’re worth it if you’re looking for an upscale experience.
Delta Sky360 Club (Sections A-R)
This is Target Field’s “club area,” which means it’s restricted to fans who have a ticket for this level. It has a climate controlled concourse with bars, unique concession stands and menu items, plenty of open tables to eat and drink at, and lots of Twins memorabilia on the walls and in display cases. The club runs from just past 1st base to just past 3rd base (these are sections A through R on the seating map), and all tickets in this club have access to the entire club area. The seats are elevated to give you a great view of the field, but you’re still low enough that you don’t feel like you’re detached from the action.
While there are both standard and unique menu items available in the club, these are not all-inclusive tickets: nothing is included other than your seat and access to the club area, so all food and beverage is extra. It’s also worth noting that these seats are not available for single-game purchase through the Twins box office or website. You’ll need to buy them through a secondary resale site like Stubhub or SeatGeek, where they are fairly easy to find.
We like the club a lot. The seat views are great, the padded seats are a nice plus, and having access to the indoor club on particularly hot or cold days is a nice benefit. The lines for concessions are shorter than they are in the lower bowl, and some of the unique food items are delicious. It’s not all-inclusive, so make sure to not confuse this area with the Delta Sky360 Suites in the outfield, which includes food and drinks in the ticket price.
Delta Sky360 Suites (Outfield, between Sections 234 and 237)
Don’t confuse this with the previously mentioned section of a similar name. The Delta Sky360 Suites are located in center field, and they aren’t really suites. It’s a premium area above the outfield with two rows of high chair seats that all have a railing in front of them, along with small TV monitors at each seat. There are also SRO tickets available, which allow you to sit at tables or sofas behind those rows of seats, but note that you won’t have a view of the game from either of those locations, so we strongly recommend against buying the SRO tickets.
Regardless of your type of seat, every Delta Sky360 Suites ticket includes an all-you-can-eat buffet, featuring a side salad, appetizer, an entree, hot dogs or brats, and a selection of desserts. In addition, you’ll also get complimentary soft drinks, beer, wine, and hard seltzers, but not hard liquor, which is available for cash purchase.
You can’t purchase these tickets through the box office or the team’s website, but they are often available via secondary resale sites like StubHub and SeatGeek, and depending on the game, you can sometimes get a good deal on them, especially as game time draws closer. For a midweek game against an average opponent, we’ve seen them drop as low as $70-100, and on the weekend or against prime opponents, we’ve seen them for anywhere from $100-250+. At the low end, these tickets are an absolute steal and we’d highly recommend grabbing them.
Our opinion of the Delta Sky360 Suites: the food was really quite good. It’s not a huge variety, but the menu is varied enough that most people will enjoy the selection. The outdoor club area is great, although if you’re there for a day game, the seats are in the sun and it can get pretty hot out there (you can duck over to the covered sofas or the bar for some relief if you want, but you won’t be able to see the game from those spots). Also, the second row of seats don’t have a clear view of the deep outfield, which can be a little annoying when trying to figure out if a play was made out there. But for the right ticket price we’re willing to overlook that occasional inconvenience. The wait service was excellent, and we don’t have a problem settling for soft drinks and beer/wine/seltzer as long as we knew what to expect when we bought the tickets.
Overall, this is a very good and fun experience. You’re getting an outfield seat, so it’s not nearly the same experience as sitting behind home plate in the Thompson Reuters Champions Club, and if being close to home plate is important to you, then this may not be the seat for you. But if you’re looking for a premium experience that is fairly priced, and can eat/drink your money’s worth in food and beer, then this is a recommended way to go.
All You Can Eat Seats
Legends Landing All You Can Eat Seats (Sections S-V)
If you’re looking for a fairly decent seat where you can stuff your face full of ballpark fare, then this may be the ticket for you. The All You Can Eat seats in the Legends Landing offer unlimited hot dogs, burgers, chicken strips, popcorn, peanuts, chips, soft drinks, and popsicles.
The seats are in sections S-V in left field, and honestly, the view from here is really quite decent. The concession stand is just behind the seats, right on the concourse, so it’s easy to get back and forth. To get in, an attendant will scan your ticket each time you come up, and you can grab whatever you want.
The food is not gourmet, but it’s decent ballpark food. The hot dogs aren’t great (smaller, not as tasty as the regular hot dogs from concessions), but the burgers and chicken strips match the quality of other basic ballpark stands.
The concession stand closes after the final out. Plan ahead and grab any last-minute snacks, and perhaps a bottle of water (or another burger!) for your journey back to your hotel.
TSI TIP: If you’re seated in this section, bring a bag to carry items like water bottles and chips/peanuts so you can leave your hands open for the harder to carry items.
Bars and Standing Room Areas
Truly On Deck Bar and Patio
The Truly On Deck bar offers both indoor bar/restaurant seating as well as rail seats on their outdoor patio that can both be reserved in advance of the game. Located beyond the right field foul pole on the same level as the Delta Sky360 Club, this area provides a nice view of the field and the jumbotron, and the indoor space is really fantastic: the entire restaurant is glass enclosed, so it’s bright and airy and, honestly, it’s as nice of a setting for eating before the game as you’ll find.
No special ticket is required to access the bar or patio; it is open to all ticket holders from the time the gates open, and you can go up there and ask for a table or patio seating on a first come, first seated basis. But you can also make reservations in advance, which we highly recommend, especially for their outdoor patio, because the locals know how great this product is and it will often sell out on the weekends.
For the outdoor patio, an advance reservation costs $5 per seat, and there is also a $25 minimum per person spend requirement for food and drink (this minimum only applies to the outdoor patio, not the indoor seating area). We think that’s well worth it: the patio is a great spot to watch the game, and the food is very solid. An entree and beverage will easily get you to $25, and it won’t be much more expensive than buying something to eat and drink at the general concession stands. (Note: Patio reservations are limited in size to six people or less.) If you don’t want to watch the game from the patio, that’s fine: you can book a spot for the pregame and then move on to your seat after you’re done eating.
For the indoor restaurant/bar, you can book online for tables of six people or less. If you have a group larger than six people, you’ll need to call the restaurant directly at 612-659-4049.
Our thoughts on the patio: we love it. No, it’s not a lower level infield seat, but the view is great, and you’ll enjoy the convenience of wait service, rail space in front of you to put your food and drink, close access to restrooms, and ample space with individual chairs. What’s even better is that you can purchase the cheapest game ticket you can find, reserve your patio spot for $5 per person, and voila … you’ve got a pretty solid place to watch the game for not a lot of money.
Of course you can also choose to just come to the Truly On Deck bar for pregame and then go to your seat after you’ve eaten, and that’s a perfectly fine option as well. We think the experience here is on par with the pregame experience outside of the stadium, but with the added experience of having a great view of the field.
TSI TIP: Did we mention that figuring out how to book a reservation is nearly impossible? Reservations are made on OpenTable, but if you go to OpenTable for Minneapolis on their app and search for “Truly” you won’t find anything. We can’t explain this, but finding the booking link is ridiculously difficult! But don’t worry—here it is.
Gray Duck Deck
As mentioned above, this is a bar located in the corner of left field. There is a first come, first get railing where you can stand and have a clear view of the game. But it usually gets very crowded in this area, and you will likely need to show up early to get a prime spot, especially on weekends and for more popular games. But if you can, you’ll have a pretty fun standing room spot to watch the game, and we like it.
TSI TIP: The Gray Duck Bar is known for serving “Bomba Juice,” a strawberry-flavored specialty cocktail. Whether you hang out there or not, you may want to swing by and check it out.
Summit Brewing Pub
Located in left field one section above Gray Duck, this is a less crowded space with a clear view of the field. The major draw here is Summit’s local craft beer. With standing tables and a railing view, it’s a great place to set down your food/drink, meet up with someone, or simply enjoy the game. No special ticket is necessary—if you get there first, the spots are yours.
Minnie & Paul’s
This is a large deck on the upper level above center field with a huge bar and several really good specialty concessions (local burger and pizza shops). There are first-come, first-serve seats and tables (in the shade) but you can’t see the field while sitting down, so they are just a good spot to eat some food and kick your feet up for a bit. But there is also a long railing overlooking the field where you can stand and see all of the action. If you’re looking for a very social hang-out space and can get there early for a spot on the railing, we like Minnie & Paul’s. But you’ll be right in the sun for day games, so take that into consideration.
Bottom Line
Target Field has plenty of great seating options for you to choose from. If you’re in the mood to drop a lot of money and glam it up, the Thompson Reuters Champions Club is a great experience. But keep an eye on the Delta Sky360 Suites in the outfield—if you can find them at a bargain price, don’t hesitate to grab them. If it’s really cold or really hot outside, then shoot for the Delta Sky360 Club level. Otherwise, we’d suggest looking for the best seat you can find in the lower level within your price budget.
