Minnesota – This trip had me looking only a handful of parks I hadn’t visited. I never saw a game at the Metrodome so this would be my first MLB game in the Twin Cities. Target Field is universally hailed as a great place and I had very high expectations and this place simply delivered in every way. There’s something cosmic about the giant neon state of Minnesota throwback logo in center field. The concourses are cozy and packed with great local food. The Twins have embraced every hero in their legacy chain from Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva and Rod Carew straight through Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbac. The downtown is now bustling and this is another team that’s in the midst of a resurgence in the standings. Highly encourage you to take in Target Field on a summer night.
