Target Field Tour

I am so far behind on posting pictures from our busy summer. Here is one of my catch-ups. When we were in MN in June the Twins were out of town so we didn't get to see a game in the new stadium, but we did get to take a behind-the-scenes tour. It was really cool!

Each of the five gates is numbered after former Twins greats. This was Hrbek's gate.Cory and Kaylynn with Rod Carew.The "Golden Glove" sits 520 feet from home plate - the distance of Killebrew's longest home run.Mom with "Uncle" Carl and Eloise.Just cute!Kirby!The view from the club level.And the $300+ seats behind home plate.The Champions Club - we saw the World Series trophies in here.This was my favorite part - the large kegerators that pump beer up to the concession stands (no more hauling kegs around amongst the crowd)!
Cool wall art.And we made it on to the field - but NOT on the grass!In the visiting team's dugout. It was fun to see. Quite nice, but I wouldn't want to be at an outdoor game this weekend (with the excessive heat warning!)!
