Target Field open house photos

I don't know if you guys are sick of seeing photos of the new Twins ballpark, Target Field, but I had the opportunity as a season ticket holder to go check the place out with my dad yesterday.

Needless to say, the place is spectacular. Above and beyond the expectations my father and I both had. And trust me, our expectations were pretty high. Honestly, no amount of photos is going to do the place justice. You have to actually walk through the place and experience it for yourself. It feels like home. It really does.

I truly feel privileged to have such a gorgeous home for our team to play baseball in.

Anyway, being as I just recently spoiled myself with a shiny new DSLR camera, I took a lot of photos. So I thought I would share some of them. Like I said, it won't do the place justice, but I hope it can at least show you some things you might not have seen yet.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have about the pictures, or questions about Target Field in general. I hope you all get to see the place for yourself soon!

Beautiful new stadium, nice piece of architecture.

They really paid attention to the details to make it truly unique. What a great and tasteful job they did with all the murals and graphics.

Than you for the tour Twins4Life, I feel like I got to see everything.

I did wonder when the first drunken fan is going to try to jump over that fire pit and land his ass in the middle of it.

You aren't the only one!

I was thinking that same thing.

Party Deck + Themed after an alcoholic beverage, Budweiser + outdoor bar + fire pit = disaster waiting to happen.

Someone is going to get burned, like little kids, drunkards, or idiots.

Gross, should have a ice cream parlor instead or something.

No way.

They just need a better wine selection. Everything else looks great.

Unless Frozen was talking about

the Cointreau or the Seagrams. Then yeah. That’s gross.

At first I thought this was to test our courage by walking over them with bare feet

Then I realized, “Duh, s’mores!”
