My sister, Jessica and I went to Target Field on July 31st for Twins VS Seattle Mariners game. I am going to write about my adventure. Twins won 4 to 0.
When I went inside, I had face of happy but amazing like a kid on Christmas morning and was in awe. My first reaction was: WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!! It look really nicer than Metrodome. I have been to Target Plaza (small park in between Target Center and Target Field and bridge over a highway) but never been inside. Unlikely other venues, they have gates named after retired players along with their jersey numbers such as Gate #34 for Kirby Puckett and #14 for Kent Herbek instead of usual gates A, B, C or #1, 2, 3.
Jessica and I got free Twins cap (sponsored by DQ), we are two of 20,000 fans to get free cap. The coupon attached to hat is for some money off on blizzard or ice cream from DQ. There are 5 gates so there are 4,000 caps to give away at each gates as I did some math.
The hallway is HUGE, just like Xcel Energy Center (hockey arena in St. Paul), Most of it are outdoors expect bathrooms and some areas. At dome it is small, closed and lack of fresh air. People could see game when they are in line to buy food or things. It was crowded too and from what I see, every seats are FULL. There are six types of seats but mine was bench on left field.
There are different types of concessions even they have three bars/restaurants. There was Italian, Asian, Mexican, state fair, deli, and many more. Only place I ate was at Ballpark Tavern.
Instead of going straight to our seat, we decided to go on adventure to explore the place. We went to Treasure Island booth to get free backpack, then got drinks and bought programs. We decided to walk around and did full first floor. There also are stores inside so we decided to call it Mall of Target Field because it is more like mall with baseball stadium in it. There are several Twins stores, mostly kiosks, but there are two stores on first floor one is inside and other one is outside with more choices in things. There is charging booth for cellphone/ipods and Wii for people to play video games that are sponsored by Best Buy.
We went upstairs so I could eat at Ballpark Tavern because I heard that Juicy Lucy burgers are very good. The bar is too crowded but we managed to get a table. Their hardwood floor was from Minneapolis Armory where Lakers used to play before they moved to Los Angles. Some tables are high, some are low and there was some comfy chairs also and island bar.
I would always return to Target Field. It is worth to watch game or just to hang out walking around the stadium.
