June 29: One Busy Night with Justin Bieber and Detroit Tigers

Tonight will be one busy area around Target Center and Target Field. At the Target Center, 16 year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber will be performing, while at Target Field the Minnesota Twins will square off against the AL Central rival Detroit Tigers. Both events will be starting at 7:00 PM. This marks the first time that both stadiums will be used at the same time. Since the stadiums are located right next to eachother, the downtown area should be very busy. If you are planning on going to either event, it might be a good idea to plan on a longer traffic time to arrive. The weather is supposed to be clear for tonight, so Target Field should expect 40,000 while the Target Center can expect around 15,000 for the Justin Bieber concert. It will definitely be a busy spot tonight.

Target Field Plaza Rocks

The hot ticket in town right now, is without a doubt, Target Field. Fans have been flocking the Twins outdoor stadium since Opening Day on April 12th. Having indoor baseball for the last twenty-nine years have really made Twins fan marvel in the beauty of Target Field. One of the features of the stadium that has been a success is Target Plaza. The Target Plaza is located right behind the right field gate with the Minneapolis skyline tucked behind it. It's an open part of the stadium that is a great area for fans to enter the stadium, observe the Twins monuments, and watch the game.

The Plaza boasts Kirby Puckett, Rod Carew, and Harmon Killebrew statues, honoring the three Hall of Fame Twin hitters. Next to the opening gate is a Golden Glove statue that you can sit in and take a picture, honoring all of the Minnesota Twins Golden Glove Award winners. Walking from downtown Minneapolis into the stadium allows the fans to observe "Tradition Wall", which honors season-by-season rosters. The Twins have announced they plan on expanding Tradition Wall, where fans and families can have their names sketched into the glass panels. Overall, Target Plaza offers a connection to Twins history and their fans. Walking into the stadium observing statues of the Twins legends reminds the fans of the great players the organization have had. It adds to the great experience and atmosphere of Target Field.

Target Field Fire Makes Headlines but no-one is hurt and the games will go on..

Target Field got another first this past week, first accident. Target Field was on fire for a short time on Sunday evening when a gas powered power-washer started a blaze on one of the concourses. No-one was hurt and the Target Field Sprinkler System put out the flames before the fire department arrived. The Minneapolis Fire Department said the Target Field Fire was minor and that due to the few damages and no structural concerns, the Minnesota Twins’ home field would not need to be shut down at all. Target Field crews worked quickly to clean up the damage and replace a few broken ceiling tiles in a suite, and had Target Field up and running in time for Tuesday’s Minnesota Twins Game against the Colorado Rockies.

Target Field Gold Glove on Target Plaza proves to be a popular photo spot

If you have been to a Minnesota Twins Game at Target Field or have seen someone's Target Field pictures, you likely can picture the Golden Golve. Oversized and glistening the Target Plaza Gold Glove has turned into the must-take picture location at Target Field.

Minnesota Twins fans are standing in line, sometimes long lines to sit in the glove and snap a picture. If you have Minnesota Twins Tickets for Target Field, I suggest going early to the game or staying late if you plan on taking a picture from the glove.

Although most fans typically pick the traditional sitting pose, if you wait long enough you can see people trying more daring poses inside the Target Plaza Gold Glove.
