Budweiser Roof Deck

Budweiser Roof Deck High atop the left corner of Target Field stands the Budweiser Roof Deck. Another awesome feature of Target Field, the Budweiser Roof Deck was designed to be the ultimate Minnesota Twins outdoors experience. With a partial canopy, the area allows fans to hang out, watch the game, and enjoy food and beverages. One of the coolest parts of the Roof Deck is the large fire pit open to Minnesota Twin fans to hover around during those cool fall or spring evenings. There is also a bar and concession area on the Budweiser Roof Deck.

Twins Fans Love Target Field's Metropolitan Club

Minnesota Twins fans enjoying The Metropolitan Club Target Field has many new features that Minnesota Twins fans were not used to with the Metrodome. The Metropolitan Club is another new aspect of the stadium that Twins fans are loving. The Metropolitan Club is a place for full and partial season ticket holders to enjoy pregame dining and drinks or a place to watch the game. Quipped with a buffet, bar, floor to ceiling windows, the Metropolitan Club has been a smashing success. It is a luxurious area that season ticket holders get rewarded for. To gain entrance, one must show your "Metropolitan Club Card" that verifies you're a member. Hanging on the walls are old photographs of famous players playing in Minnesota, such as Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Ted Williams. It's located on the second level, right above Target Plaza.

Target Field Fireworks Rocked

Fireworks at a Twins Game. That wasn't exactly a theme at Twins games in the past 28 years at the Metrodome. The closed Teflon roof on the stadium didn't allow for post-game fireworks. After a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, July 2, Target Field sprayed the downtown Minneapolis skyline with fireworks. It exhibits how going to Target Field is more than just a game, it's an experience. The fireworks were set off on top of the parking ramp behind right field and adjacent to Target Plaza. Almost every fan stayed until the fireworks was lit off and crowds were watching outside the stadium. The fireworks lasted for 15 minutes.
