    Minnesota Twins Tickets

    Value pick: infield Terrace, low 300s · open-air park, no roof

    Target Field has no roof, so the right Twins ticket depends on the month and the start time as much as on the section number.

    Upcoming Minnesota Twins dates

    Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.

    Twins tickets start with the weather, then the angle

    The best all-around Minnesota Twins ticket is usually an infield seat in the low 300s on the Terrace, the upper deck at Target Field. You get a centered view, the downtown Minneapolis skyline past the outfield, and in many rows a canopy overhead. For a closer look at the game, the Dugout Box sections between the bases are the premium lower-level choice.

    Target Field is open air. A retractable roof was studied during planning and dropped because it would have added roughly 100 million to the cost. So before you pick a section, decide what the weather will be doing: a 1 p.m. game in July calls for shade, an April night game calls for sun and a warm layer, and an unsettled forecast calls for a covered row.

    • Hot afternoon: Terrace infield or the back rows of the lower infield.
    • Cold night: a sunny outfield seat early, plus a jacket for later.
    • Rain risk: rows 20 and up in the lower infield, or rows 5 and up in most Terrace sections.
    • Atmosphere and home run balls: the Home Run Porch, if you can take the sun.

    Reading the Target Field bowl

    Wikipedia lists capacity at 38,544. The seats sit in three bands: the lower bowl (the 100-level sections nearest the field), the club level (the 200s) and the Terrace (the 300s). The field itself is lopsided, from 328 feet down the right field line to 411 feet in deep left-center, so outfield seats on each side feel very different.

    Which dugout is the Twins dugout

    Sources do not agree. Two guides (Ballparks of Baseball and Ballpark E-Guides) list the first base dugout as Minnesota's; TickPick lists third base instead. If a seat behind the home bench is why you are buying, check the team's own seat map before you pay.

    Premium seating

    The Champions Club behind home plate is the all-inclusive option, with food and drink included in the ticket. The Dugout Box sections between the bases are the other high-end choice.

    The outfield

    • Left field bleachers (128–131): close to the bullpens, which sit in left-center under the Home Run Porch. Cover begins around row 6.
    • Home Run Porch (229–234 and 329–334): lively and in range of home run balls, with almost no shade.
    • Right field (132–136): tucked under a grandstand overhang, which helps on a hot day.

    Shade map for Twins day games

    Rate Your Seats tracks how the sun moves across Target Field. For a 1 p.m. start in summer, its picks are:

    • Terrace sections 301 to 316 for dependable shade.
    • Terrace sections 308 to 322 for shade at a moderate price.
    • Lower sections 107 to 122, row 20 and up, which sit under cover.

    Left field, center field and the Home Run Porch hold the sun longest. That exposure turns into an advantage in April and late September, when temperatures can fall quickly after dark and a seat that caught the sun early in the game is the warmer one. Ballparks of Baseball notes heated concessions, restrooms and lounges on every level, yet every seat is still outside, so dress for the last inning, not the first.

    Rows and railings that cost you the view

    • Back rows of the lower bowl. The overhang keeps rain off, but it can hide high fly balls and the scoreboard. If you want to see the whole arc of a home run, sit a few rows in front of the cover line.
    • First rows behind upper-level railings. You may need to lean forward to see the near baseline, which annoys the people behind you as much as it annoys you.
    • Deep outfield upper sections. These sit far from the infield and see less of the skyline that makes the Terrace worth buying.
    • The Home Run Porch on a July afternoon. Fun crowd, punishing sun. Save it for a night game.

    When Twins demand peaks

    The MLB calendar is the same for every club: spring training in February and March, a 162-game regular season (81 at home) from late March or early April to late September, the All-Star break in mid-July, and a 12-team postseason in October. Since 2023 the balanced schedule has meant every team plays every other team at least once.

    In Minneapolis, the calendar shapes demand more than the opponent does:

    • Opening Day and the first home weekend fill the park despite cold weather.
    • June, July and August weekends are the busiest dates of the year. On those Friday-to-Sunday dates the gates open two hours ahead.
    • Milwaukee Brewers series, the interleague "Border Battle," bring Wisconsin fans west.
    • Weeknight games in April and September are the easiest tickets to find, mostly because of the weather.
    • October games are the scarcest. The 2023 Wild Card win over Toronto snapped an 18-game postseason losing streak that dated to 2004.

    Most resale tickets are priced by demand, so an identical seat can cost much more on a July Saturday than on an April Tuesday.

    Light rail to the North Loop, and the 2026 gate rules

    Target Field sits in the North Loop of downtown Minneapolis, at 1 Twins Way, and it is one of the easiest big league parks to reach without driving. Target Field Station is the end of the METRO Blue Line and Green Line light rail, and Wikipedia puts the typical light-rail crowd at more than 8,000 per game. The Northstar commuter rail line ran its last trains on January 4, 2026, and buses replaced it, so riders from the northern suburbs should plan on a bus or light rail connection.

    Drivers have options: roughly 20,000 parking spaces lie within a block of the park, per Ballparks of Baseball, and for 2026 the team sells preferred parking in advance for Ramps A, B and C and the Hawthorne Ramp.

    As of the 2026 season, the Target Field guest guide lists these rules:

    • Bags: one compartment, no larger than 16 by 16 by 8 inches; hard-sided coolers stay outside.
    • Tickets: digital only, in the MLB Ballpark app. Screenshots and printouts are not accepted.
    • Gate times: one hour before Monday through Thursday night games, 90 minutes before weekday day games, and two hours before Friday through Sunday games.
    • Re-entry: none.

    Policies change between seasons, so confirm them with the team before you go. Reserved Seat orders include guaranteed entry.

    Senators to Bomba Squad: what the franchise carries

    The club began in the American League in 1901 as the Washington Senators and won the 1924 World Series there. It moved to Minnesota for 1961 and took a name meant to belong to both Minneapolis and Saint Paul rather than either one. Home has been Metropolitan Stadium (1961 to 1981), the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (1982 to 2009) and Target Field, which opened on April 12, 2010, and hosted the 2014 All-Star Game.

    The Twins won the pennant in 1965 and took AL West titles in 1969 and 1970. The two championships in Minnesota both came at the Metrodome. In 1987 the Twins beat the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games behind a deafening home crowd. In 1991 they beat Atlanta in a World Series often ranked among the greatest: Kirby Puckett robbed a hit against the wall in Game 6 and then won it with an 11th-inning homer, and Game 7 stayed scoreless until Gene Larkin's hit won it in the 10th.

    • Pennants: 1924, 1925, 1933, 1965, 1987 and 1991.
    • Division titles: four in the AL West and nine in the AL Central, most recently 2023.
    • Cooperstown: Killebrew, Carew, Puckett, Blyleven and Mauer are among the club's Hall of Famers.
    • The Bomba Squad: the 2019 team's nickname, earned with 307 home runs.

    Look for the statues of Killebrew, Carew, Puckett and Mauer on Target Plaza outside the gates, the "Minnie and Paul" sign in center field that lights up after a Twins run, and T.C. Bear, the mascot since 2000.
