Target Field is a baseball stadium in the historic warehouse (or North Loop) district of downtown Minneapolis. It is the home of the Minnesota Twins, the state’s Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. It also has served as the occasional home of Minnesota Golden Gophers baseball, and other local and regional baseball events.

The ballpark officially opened on April 12, 2010 with a capacity of 39,504. The ballpark is open-air and not considered “roof-ready” in any way. Though originally designed for baseball, the venue can accommodate football and soccer competitions and outdoor concerts. Target Field will also hold its first hockey game. The NHL Winter Classic will be played between the Minnesota Wild and the St. Louis Blues in 2021. Its extensive banquet and conference facilities are marketed for corporate and other non-Twins and non-baseball events.

In 2010, ESPN The Magazine ranked Target Field as the number 1 baseball stadium experience in North America. The stadium which features multiple bars and food outlets has also hosted concerts for Guns N’ Roses, Paul McCartney and Billy Joel.
