Your view here opened in 2010 as the new home of the Minnesota Twins, ending twenty-eight years in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome — a dome Minnesotans loved and mocked in equal measure, its Teflon roof deflating in snowstorms. Target Field was intentionally designed as an outdoor ballpark, which means that April games here can be genuinely cold — fans show up in parkas and hand warmers — and that summer games are genuinely beautiful, with views of the Minneapolis skyline rising directly behind left field. The left field wall is one of the most distinctive in the majors, an asymmetric limestone-and-steel structure that creates odd angles and carom possibilities.
The team here has produced remarkable players over the decades: Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew, Kirby Puckett, Johan Santana. The 1987 and 1991 World Series titles are the city's most celebrated sports achievements. The ballpark's arrival helped catalyze the transformation of the North Loop neighborhood from warehouse district to one of the most desirable addresses in the city.
