Insider Tips
01
The One Thing
Get a Kramarczuk's bratwurst. Kramarczuk's has been making Eastern European sausages in Minneapolis since 1954. Stone-ground mustard, sauerkraut. The correct Minnesota baseball food.
02
The Surly Tap Room
The Surly Brewing Tap Room inside Target Field has 10+ taps including brewery exclusives. Furious IPA at Target Field is the Minneapolis craft beer experience.
03
April Game Protocol
If attending an April game: layered base, fleece mid-layer, wind-breaking outer layer. The heated lower concourse is your friend. April baseball in Minneapolis can be 35°F.
04
The Minneapolis Skyline
Get to the third base upper deck and look at the Minneapolis skyline beyond left field as the city lights come on.
05
Parking Reality
Target Field Station is directly adjacent — both Northstar Commuter Rail and METRO Blue and Green Lines stop here. The transit connection is the best in the AL Central.
06
Best Value Seat
View Level sections 219–228 along the right field line. Clear view of the Minneapolis skyline, lower prices, and a good diagonal view.
