Target Field is regarded as one of the finest ballparks in the country - and it is. Sadly, however, the Minnesota Twins - the reason for its existence - have been all but unwatchable for the past two seasons. Couple that with ticket prices that are about twice what they should be (but then, one could say that about pretty much any sports team), and it's pretty difficult to justify ponying up the cash to see the park.

Target Field is a beautiful venue. It is clean and green. I love to go there to watch the Twins, especially when they play the Yankees...a great way to see my favorite team without having to go to NYC.

Target Field is a great place even though I miss the climate-controlled Dome. There are, of course, a lot of food and drink options available. We weren't close up to the action, but had great seats, nonetheless. Too bad about the Twins' season! Ouch! Great fans, great fun. Be prepared to spend plenty if you want to eat and drink at the game. This is worth mentioning: fun and friendly food vendors!

The Target Field tour is a great way to see the stadium. We sat in the press box and dug out, walked around the private boxes, visiting team locker room and got out on the field to walk around home plate. Our guides were a wealth of knowledge about baseball in general and the Twins in particular. If you want to see the inner workings of the stadium this is the tour for you. The cost for an adult is $17, senior over 55 is $14, students $12 (subject to change, check the Twins website). There is a child rate put since we didn't have any children in our group I didn't pay attention to that price. The tour lasts about 1.5-2 hours. If you have any interest in baseball do yourself a favor and take the tour.
