I had the privilege to go watch my nephew play soccer at the health fairview dome. I always thought…read moreabout what's inside of the dome, and thought maybe it's like the other dome in other cities for indoor sporting events. Lots of parking spaces, someone greeted us at the main entrance. I think there may have had a class there. Follow the signs to the dome until you get to the tent like walkway that will get to the turning door. Once inside you'll just have to find where your team is playing and have a seat on the fake grass.

I play up here in a over 40 mens league. While getting here on a Wednesday evening sucks, once…read moreyou're here it's great. The games are competitive and more often then not, various teams are getting together having post match beers and possibly a bbq. The fields themselves tend to get pretty beat up with how much they are used but for the most part, the NSC does an admirable job at keeping up with them. There is no denying the fact that it is tough to get a field in town because of how soccer has taken off and kids usually get the priority so having access to this for our league is appreciated. CATERING and Event Center Besides the soccer and hockey (which I cannot review), the NSC also has a fine event center which can be catered by outside vendors. We celebrated our soccer clubs 50th anniverary and they were super helpful. Parking is fantastic and the staff were super helpful. The only complaint I heard was that the older members wanted a wood dance floor for the polka band we had rented : )

Lots of fun things once you stroll around the beautiful baseball stadium. Lots of fun things and interactive items for kids to partake in. For example my son made a bookmark towards centerfield and they had a great playground set for him to get some wiggles out. There are lots of options as well for parking. We parked over by Union Depot since we were at an event earlier in the day there.

Quick and easy walk to the field, just right around the corner. The kids usually don't like to spend time watching the game, they usually come for the dippin dots and the games. They have a kids area set up with a playground, games that include pitching, rock climbing and bounce house unlimited play for $10 and it usually includes a free hat. Lots of tasty food and beverages available for purchase all throughout. They have different events for the game and the ones we go to usually have food trucks and fireworks at the end. They also allow us to go on the field afterwards. It's a really fun family activity when the weather is nice!

Enjoyable site, though seats are a bit close. Always clean…read more Bathroom is small for number of people, but again kept clean. Seating is fast and enough help to get everyone to their seats. If I recall, no issues with people in front, enough height to see over them, but right next and not easy to get out of seats, without people standing and stepping back. Almost no room for coats (many do not check), but floors very clean, so can be placed on floor

I'm so glad I was finally able to experience this venue. Parking is easy with free ramp and street parking next door to the theatre. Our seats were right in the middle of the center section. The steepness of the seats was great in that the person in front of you never blocks your view. Drinks were available for purchase and you can bring them to your seat. Staff was super friendly. It felt a little odd to see a 'Queen' concert in a theatre when I felt people should be up dancing and singing but the band did a good job of engaging the audience and the last few songs got the crowd on their feet. Nice experience.

I'll go ahead and put this in the top five of ballparks I've visited. Indeed a surprise, but the…read morewhole experience just felt "right". The stadium is very nicely designed, incorporated into the existing city infrastructure, and the exposed limestone walls in the outfield are a pleasant touch. The concourse is nice to walk around, and there are lots of food options. The views are nice. I know Minneapolis is a bit out of the way for most, generally a 'special trip' but I can recommend Target Field for baseball connoisseurs. (26/30 visited)

Always such a great stadium experience! I love how the concourse is open so you can see the game…read morefrom any vantage point. Their commitment to bringing in local food and drink vendors and smaller businesses is so appreciated. We went recently for a Friday game, and were jazzed to hear that they're doing heavily discounted hot dogs and beers before the game starts! I wish they had a safer and better way for folks to get Ubers - it's frustrating that the few times we've called rideshare after a game that the drivers don't know where to pick up, and it says to pick up further from the venue. They really need a row where it is only rideshare pickup. Target Field is a great spot overall - super fun to see the other areas during Food & Wine Experience this winter too!

A nice sized crowd turned out and people seemed to be enjoying themselves chatting and mingling. There was a huge band playing some 70's musics with a full horn section. Giant Jenga and the game where you pound a nail into a slab of wood not sure what it is called Hammicker Slamicker or something like that...hahaha by the time I played I had already indulged so forgive my memory. There was a breathalizer on display so you could test how inebriated you may be. I thought this was a great idea. They should be in every drinking establishment out there. He explained that it does not cost the bar a thing to put in and it is affordable for people to use 2.00. Me thinks much better than a DUI. The boys in uniform were right there when you left wishing you a good evening as this was held in a parking lot adjacent to the police station. I got an opportunity to try some beers I would not normally sampled and leaned about some local breweries and wineries. Some I can remember are Lucid, Summit, Big Wood, Barley Johns, Rush River, Burning Brothers, Tin Whiskers, Bent, Mankato Brewing, Insight, Brau Brothers, Sidhe and Granite City. They were all very generous with the pours and happy to speak with you about the product. The wineries that showed up were slim and a bit stingy with the sample amount. So was not a good evening for wine but no shortage of beer. It was a great event with proceeds supporting the local community by providing clean, safe, park facilities for the residents.

For the past 3-6 weeks, my wife has been trying to convince me that we should buy a home in…read moreRoseville, where she works, instead of staying in downtown St Paul. Events like 'Tapped and Uncorked' work in her favor. Tapped and Uncorked was a great way for a couple of Twin City Transplants like ourselves to get up to speed on local microbreweries, wineries, and distilleries. It didn't take us long to discover new, local favorites such as the pumpkin ale created by Tin Whiskers (the secret is in their blend of spices). It was like drinking fall on tap. Everything we tried from Northern Vinyards Winery, in Stillwater, was a hit. This included the house red, house white, and house rose. We also fell in love with Yellow Belly Cider from Sapsucker Farms because its neither too sweet nor too dry. The secret? Minnesota apples? Hmm. Food at the event was provided by food trucks. Our favorite was A Cupcake Social, which made two special cupcakes for the event. I was disappointed when I saw that the Tot Boss food truck was there, but that we didn't see it. Perhaps they didn't make it? The event was well organized. The music was excellent and there was plenty of space to mill around. Had there been seating, more than six tables, and more than two fire pits, we probably would have stayed all night. Instead, we found ourselves wandering home shortly after dark with a bright smile and wine-warmed bellies. Next year, I definitely plan to bring folding chairs and a jacket (based on weather) so that we can spend more time enjoying the samples, the music, and the company. The location of the event is ideal because there is plenty of parking, party area, and access to clean public bathrooms. As a transplant to the Twin Cities from Wisconsin, it might not surprise you that I'd give an event like 'Tapped and Uncorked' five stars. On the other hand, I know how beer tastings should be done... and that this event surpassed my expectations. Given that this is only the event's 2nd year, I expect that it'll only get better in 2016.
