Minnesota Twins vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

My home ballpark is the final stop of the four-day four-ballpark stretch with Ian from Canada. For me, Target Field is a regular site. For Ian, this is his first visit. With both the Twins and Diamondbacks well out of contention, the WNBA playoffs completing next door at Target Field, and the Vikings playing later on Sunday night at US Bank Stadium, we have a sparse crowd but plenty of opportunity to explore the ballpark.

Seat Selection

Section 210 Row 3

The good thing about near empty games at Target Field is that, for the most part, you can sit wherever you want. The seats we purchased were on the 200 Level on the third base side but that side is right in the sun. So we moved to the first base side to stay in the shade.

For afternoon games at Target Field, look to the first base side for your shaded seats. Third base side will start in the sun but shade will begin to creep down from the upper rows throughout the game.

Game Highlights

Unfortunately, as a Twins fan, there hasn’t been much to highlight since the trade deadline that resulted in half of the team going to playoff contenders. For this game in particular, the Twins had the early lead until the Diamondbacks pulled off a strong fourth inning with a three-run home run from James McCann. The Diamondbacks beat the Twins 6-4.
