Minnesota Twins Tickets 2027: Your Target Field Guide

Twins 2027 and Target Field: a ballpark built for Minnesota weather

Target Field opened on April 12, 2010, after the Twins spent 28 seasons indoors at the Metrodome. The ballpark sits in Minneapolis’s historic Warehouse District, on the northern edge of downtown, and was designed to feel like open-air baseball in a climate that has plenty of cold. It is not a domed stadium and has no retractable roof, so the weather is part of the experience.

What makes Target Field distinct for the Twins

Much of the exterior is Minnesota limestone from Kasota, giving the building a warm, local look. A canopy extends above the upper deck, the field is natural Kentucky bluegrass, and capacity is just under 38,600, which keeps the crowd close. Home plate was carried over from the Metrodome as a keepsake.

All 81 Twins home games in 2027 are scheduled here, with no neutral-site dates.

Twins home opener on April 2 and the 2027 home schedule

The Twins open the season on the road at Kansas City on March 25, then come home Friday, April 2 to face the Rays in a four-game series that runs through April 5. The Nationals follow from April 6 to 8. Over the year Target Field hosts 16 games in April, 12 in May, 14 in June, 12 in July, 13 in August and 14 in September.

Reaching the Twins: Blue Line, Green Line and Target Field Station

Target Field was planned around public transit. The Metro Blue Line and Green Line both end at Target Field Station, just steps from Gate 6, and roughly 8,000 fans typically ride to each game. The Blue Line also connects downtown with the Minneapolis airport and the Mall of America, which is useful for visitors flying in.

On foot and by car near Target Field

Downtown hotels are within walking distance, and the Warehouse District has restaurants and bars on the way. If you drive, downtown ramps and lots fill up for opening weekend and for series against Yankees, Red Sox or Brewers, so reserve space or leave early.

Arrive early for Twins games

Aim to be at the gates well ahead of first pitch in April, when queues form and cold wind makes waiting outside less pleasant. Once inside, walk the full concourse once to learn the ballpark before you settle into your seat.

Where to sit for the Twins at Target Field

Because Target Field is open-air, sun and shade matter more here than in a domed ballpark.

Lower-level infield at Target Field

The lower-level infield seats put you closest to pitch and plate and are the best choice if you want to feel each strikeout. The seats behind the dugouts are among the most comfortable for families.

Upper level and the canopy

Upper-level infield seats give a wide field view and part of the downtown skyline. The canopy over the upper deck covers some rows, which helps on warm days and light rain. The sections closest to the outfield catch more sun during afternoon games.

Outfield, families and small budgets with the Twins

Outfield seats are relaxed and good for fans who want to catch a home run. Families do well in the lower bowl, near restrooms and snacks. Fans with a tight budget can look to the upper deck and to weekday series against less famous opponents, especially Monday to Wednesday in April, May and September. Compare zones on the seating map rather than relying on one section number.

Twins traditions: Minnie and Paul, Homer Hankies and Minnesota food

The Twins logo features Minnie and Paul, two cartoon players shaking hands across the Mississippi River, and the logo on the scoreboard animates the handshake after a Twins home run. Fans also wave white Homer Hankies, a tradition tied to the team’s 1987 and 1991 championships.

Eating at Target Field

Minnesota favorites turn up around the concourse: look for cheese curds, walleye, brats and the cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy burger that Minneapolis claims as its own. Hot chocolate is a smart choice in April.

The Twins crowd

The crowd is polite, informed and loud when a rally builds. Statues and tributes to club legends, such as Kirby Puckett and Harmon Killebrew, honor the team’s past. Twins fans like to talk baseball with visitors, so ask your neighbor about the best home run they ever saw at the Metrodome.

Twins rivalries and big visitors in 2027

Other Twins visitors worth planning for

The Mets (May 21 to 23), the Astros (May 10 to 12) and the Cubs (July 23 to 25) round out an unusually strong list of non-division visitors.

Twins tickets 2027: when to buy and how to choose

Twins tickets are normally released in winter, and the first dates to go are the home opener, summer weekends and visits from big-market teams. The exact on-sale date for 2027 has not been announced yet, so the safest move is to set up an alert.

Picking your Twins game

For a quieter evening, choose Monday to Wednesday in April, May or September, when crowds are lighter. For a livelier park, pick a Friday or Saturday in June or July. A four-game series gives more flexibility if your travel dates are loose.

Look at several seating zones before committing, and avoid anything you cannot confirm is genuine. Secure resale is the sensible option for sold-out dates, and digital delivery to your account is the standard.

Twins 2027 for visitors from Europe and Latin America

Minneapolis is on Central time, seven hours behind central Europe and level with Mexico City in winter and one hour ahead in summer. The pitch clock keeps most nine-inning games near two and a half hours, so an evening game is easy to plan.

Weather at Target Field

April and early May can be cold enough for coats, hats and gloves, while July and August are warm. September evenings are crisp and pleasant. An open-air ballpark means rain delays are possible, so pack a light rain jacket.

Combine the Twins with Minneapolis

The Mississippi riverfront, the lakes and the Mill City area are close to the ballpark, and Saint Paul is reachable by the Green Line. For a bigger trip, visit the guide for European visitors and our best ballparks list.

Twins history: Washington roots and the 1987 and 1991 titles

The franchise began as the Washington Senators, who won the 1924 World Series with Walter Johnson, and moved to Minnesota in 1961. As the Twins they won the World Series in 1987 and 1991. Both Series went to seven games, and in 1991, Jack Morris threw ten shutout innings in Game 7.

Puckett, Killebrew, Carew and Twins heroes

Kirby Puckett hit a walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 1991 Series. Harmon Killebrew hit 573 career homers, Rod Carew won seven batting titles and hit .388 in 1977, and Tony Oliva was a three-time batting champion. Joe Mauer, a hometown catcher, won the 2009 MVP award.
