I worked at Target Center for 10 years as part of the MN Timberwolves and the arena always felt like a second home to me. Seeing the remodel, knowing all the secret hallways and backstages crevices, I really got to understand all components of the space. Helping guests navigate ramps A and B were a daily occurrence for me along with entertaining fans on camera. Flash forward to today's world, I feel a little out of sync not being there 24/7 yet there is still so much familiarity. I attended the Cardi B concert in the suite level and as I remember, every staff member was extremely helpful and the suite level was decked out with balloons and was extremely clean. I still get chills thinking about the stage managers who can transform a basketball court into a concert stage and then into an ice arena and back again. The level of detail is always mind blowing. Bravo!!! I look forward to my return to TC in whatever capacity that is. Thank you! read more

Pure Disney magic... with a side of numb legs. The skaters were phenomenal. Truly Olympic-level spins while dressed as your child's entire Disney+ watchlist. Hearing a full arena of kids passionately belting every lyric was its own heart-melting soundtrack. Snacks and light-up toys were priced somewhere between "theme park" and "second mortgage," but honestly, that's part of the Disney contract we all silently agree to. Seats were impressively close... and uncomfortable. By intermission, I understood what Elsa meant about letting it go. Feeling in my lower back, specifically. Magical nonetheless- creating memories with your child and feeling the whimsical vibes. Would absolutely go again. read more

Went to Twolves game at the Target Center on a Wednesday night Staff and security were very nice. Security helped direct us in the skyway which was helpful. It was nice and warm walk, as it was winter and cold outside Had tickets in upper level but stood in standing room only. I don't feel like there is a bad seat in the stadium They have a good cider. Not too sweet or dry! Lines weren't long. Bathrooms were not busy Parked in Ramp A- walking distance $25 for event day read more

Target Center - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've been to Target Center quite a few times for Wolves games (awooooo!) and enjoyed my experience. Even though we're usually sitting in the nosebleeds, the view is pretty dang good! The food and drink options are pretty well spaced out. Of course, I'd like the prices to be cheaper, but what can ya expect :) I recently came to Target Center for my first concert, and WOW it was actually such a perfect venue for music?! I was blown away - and it's what prompted me to write this review! We had GA tickets and I was expecting chaos - which there was a bit of finding the correct line for GA entrance when we walked in. I'd love to see them get getter directional signage and ropes for organizing the crowds! But besides that, the experience was amazing. The whole place was SO CLEAN. Like really, it shined! We walked through a new-to-me area for the GA floor access, and it was like a whole new world. A whole bar and VIP-feeling area right there?! I felt more special being GA than those with seats! I loved the amount of amenities for GA folks - plenty of bar/drink servers, a convenient snack and water station, lots of bathroom stalls. And the SOUND! Oh my god. I was shocked. I thought it would be awful and muffled, but it was crisp as heck. Much better than the sound experience at US Bank Stadium! It was a truly magical concert and experience because of it. I loved that they didn't over-pack the GA, and they kept a walkway on both sides so folks didn't have to wade through people to get out. Each time I went for a drink or bathroom break, I knew I'd be in and out then back to my spot in minutes. This won't be my last Target Center concert, especially in GA! read more

I've been to Target center many times, mostly for concerts - my first concert was here back in the early 2000s (Nsync), I've also seen TLC (w/ Destiny's Child as an opener), Janet Jackson, comedy shows and many other events here. Recently I attended my first Timberwolves game here (actually not my first but it's been a loooooooooong time). My mom last minute got playoff tickets for game 1 vs GSW (5/6). They were nosebleeds but still happy to have been able to attend a game. The concession options seemed better on the main level vs the upper level but the lines were a lot shorter on the upper level. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri (w/ rum) which was on the menu and was $20 only to receive a strawberry banana smoothie w/ hardly a shot in it. They did have a strawberry banana smoothie but that was not what I ordered. I hate bananas. I didn't realize that was the case until we got back to our seats - in the nosebleeds. That was disappointing. Also got cotton candy - it was as green and blue to match the TWolves team colors, it was green apple and maybe watermelon flavored, didn't care for it. Also they don't offer receipts and when I got to the screen where I could enter my phone # in to have it texted to me the cashier cleared the screen. He was able to go back after I asked for the receipt. The seats were very tight. Like everyone has to stand for you to be able to pass by, which can get annoying with people constantly needing to get up. The seats themselves were pretty comfortable, better than the seats US Bank Stadium. Overall not sure I'd attend another basketball here but probably would be back for concerts or other entertainment here. read more

I have been to the target center a couple of times for the Good over America tour and the Kelsea Ballerini concert. Both times the target center has been really clean, well staffed to help you find where you're going and has pretty good acoustics. They have a ton of parking options and some are even connected to the target center by a sky way. You can also buy parking ahead of time and the price is the same as if you pay when you are there but you skip the line of paying at the pay stations. Highly recommend checking out buying parking ahead of time if you want a stress free experience. read more

I hadn't been to Target Center in years but I don't feel like much has changed. We recently attended the Cage the Elephant concert here. We enjoyed the show and had so much fun! The views were good from the back lower level. The seats were roomier in the hips than other venues I've been to, but unfortunately the sound quality was not the greatest for a concert. It could have been our seating section (we were in section 106, Row N) but there was definitely a drum like echo that we kept hearing. We did get 2 beers & cheese curds and it was over $50 after tip. Everyone working was friendly and we were able to get in through security super quick. Even with the couple negatives, we still had a great time and would be back, especially for a Timberwolves game! read more

Oh, Target Center. You were not at all ready for the Iowa Hawkeyes to come to town. Entering Caitlin Clark and Company's first game of the B1G Women's Basketball Tournament was easily the most insane, poorly managed experiences I've ever lived through. To be fair, the Target Center may have been at a disadvantage due to how the conference sold tickets. The tournament sold out for the first time EVER in its thirty years. The difference between the WBB and MBB tickets is that one only sells assigned seats to the general public and the other only offers general admission. Guess which sold the GA? Yep, the sold out WBB Tourny. GA tickets really are a cluster when it comes to a sellout crowd, it requires a lot more management on the venue's part which unfortunately the Target Center didn't plan for. 20,000 fans were in line for hours, and wandering the skywalk for legit miles to find the end without an employee in sight to help or direct. There was no signage, no barriers and no time! Due to this being the second session of the day, and the arena clearing everyone who had attended the previous game; literally all the fans had about an hour to find the end of the line and get through to the single entrance. What a cluster! That all being said-- there's not a bad seat at the Target Center. The bathrooms were clean and plentiful. Prices were a bit much, but that's to be expected. Once we were actually in the arena, the staff we encountered was pleasant and helpful. Security moved quickly. Installing and using the AXS app definitely had some fans scratching their heads (as they're used to having a ticket to put in their virtual wallet at our home games). The whole scenario was mind blowing and was definitely a learning moment for the league and venue. I hope no one ever has to go through that again! My kiddos were exhausted and cranky by the time we got to our seats. read more

Target Center is fairly well-designed and easy to get around. I've been here for a few Timberwolves and Lynx games. In 2022-23, I was excited to see the Wicked Kitchen stand which was a fully vegan concession spot. As of December 2023, the stand is gone but the Wicked Kitchen plant based brat ($14) still remains (available near gate 138 and at some grab and go spots). It's pretty tasty, but messy. I saw that one other spot had the Wicked Kitchen vegan desserts, too. So while the stand is gone, some of the food items remain, which is nice. Otherwise Target Center isn't nearly as vegan-friendly as Target Field, which has Herbivorous Butcher brats, vegan burgers and channa masala (from Hot Indian). read more

What are a really cool venue. First timer here went to a Timberwolves game on a Thursday night. Lucky enough to score some suite tickets from work. Whoop whoop! So it was interesting where our suite was the TI section that the food is buffet style outside of the actual suites. The food was alright but nothing spectacular. They have a great team shop on the main floor where I ventured at halftime and bought my first Timberwolves shirt. I parked on ramp A and found it incredibly easy to find my way in and out but didn't realize until I left the parking garage that there was a skyway from the parking garage to target center. And it's so cool that First Avenue is right across the street. Iconic! read more

Target center is easily accessible located in what is the heart of Minneapolis. I was in town to see the Lynx play. It looks smaller from first point of view. Once inside it is very large. Lines moved quickly compared to most venues. I find the only seats I would never purchase are in the 200's complete nose bleeders. I prefer a closer view. Bathrooms I visited were well kept. Lines moved fast even with massive crowds. They have a self serve beer cooler that automatically know a what you are purchasing I found that really neat. Food options they had a little bit of everything. There are stands with vegan options. Overall an amazing arena to visit for events. read more

I would say the Target Center is a very nice venue, the last update/renovation making it an even nicer arena. It has good food options (Parlour Burger for example), pretty good sight lines, the sound is good, and the atmosphere of live events can be really special. It doesn't have the same really modern features as the newer stadiums out there (I'm sure that a new arena would be built a little more efficient ot to allow the "nose bleed seats" to not be so far away from the action), but I think it is a really nice arena that feels like an NBA arena & works great. I don't think they really need a new arena, as this one checks all the boxes. The concourses can get pretty jammed and wider concourses would be preferable, but that is totally fine and unacceptable. They could use some theoretically inexpensive upgrades such as water refill stations rather thank just a small one faucet drinking fountain every so often, which slightly improves the fan experience. I've seen one concert here (Arcade Fire) and it had great sound & Ive also seen a few other events (Monster Jam I think & Disney on Ice), which I've been really happy with as well. read more

Go Wolves! We love coming to see games here at target center to root for our basketball teams - the lynx are just as great. The food options here have great variety but definitely come prepared to pay upwards of $20+ with tip. Beers and cocktails also come at premium priced but there is a wide variety available. We had a NUTRL watermelon and a beer and paid just under $30 for our two drinks. Staff at food and drinks booths are friendly and helpful and do a good job of keeping up on the pregame and halftime lines but it's easiest to grab a quick bite or snack during a play review to skip the lines. Entry into games is easy and fast with only a quick ride up the escalator, ticket scan, and walk through a metal detector required to get inside the stadium. The crowds here are great, definitely slightly less family friendly than the baseball or soccer games I've been to here but the fans are involved and fun without getting too over the top - just don't be shocked to hear swearing around you after a particularly bad call. The graphics and music here are fun and really add to the experience. Additionally, there is a lot of crowd engagement with T-shirt giveaways, halftime shows, and little challenges being played during commercial breaks. We have varied between 100 and 200 level seating depending on how early we buy tickets and there really isn't a bad place to sit in the arena. We look forward to continuing to support the wolves through the next season!!!! read more

Target Center - View from section 234! Coach's challenge, Timberwolves game - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I've been here maybe 5 times total. I remember when they had red seats back in the day. After parking at a Twins game, it's best to park in parking ramp b for safety and ease by taking the skyway directly to target center. I was recently here for the Carrie Underwood and Jimmie Allen concert. My original seats were supposed to be in section 139. Carries's second stage was there so we had an upgrade to side of the stage in 129 row 5. I like that you get a paper printout of your ticket after they scan your phone. What I didn't like was not paying for a water with cash. I had to use a card and sales tax was added for a bottle of water. Of course, they have a line for a tip. My ears were ringing as I got home and went to bed. The concert was so awesome. read more

i love the atmosphere at target center, especially during wolves games! there's plenty of concession stands, and some can detect your purchase via a scanner. security lines can take a while (5-10 minutes) sometimes. i wish the entrance/exit was a little bigger or that there are multiple entrances/exits but there is just one. there's plenty of public parking lots nearby for cheap, ranging from $7-20. street parking is difficult near the arena, but sometimes there's spots a few blocks away. however, you'll need to pay the event rate. overall rating: 8/10 read more

I come to the Target Center mainly for concerts, but also see a few Timberwolves games from time to time. I honestly can say that the sound system here is way better than it used to be years ago. After the remodel they did, everything seems so much better. We really loved the fact that if you have floor tickets and want to be front row, you can wait inside if you show up early enough. Had no clue about this option until recently and we were able to watch the lines form from across the street at Kierans. Beer and drinks are still pretty expensive, however I feel that its expected for shows and events. They had a good variety of drink options. read more

Saw a Timberwolves game here. As far as arenas go, it's nothing special. We got some Walking Tacos. I loved that, except that they didn't actually take care in preparing them, and as a result we got no meat. In many cases with NBA arenas: if you've seen one you've seen them all. That applies here. read more

Our first time here, very nice stadium. Reminds me of the Metrodome, but much nicer. Plenty of parking around allowing for a fast exit out of downtown.

My boyfriend and I came here for a Wolves game on a Wednesday night and ended up leaving early. I'm not a huge NBA fan, but I love a high energy sports game. I'm 24, so I don't mind loud and crazy events - but this just felt out of hand. The music was so loud I left with a headache, and the sound was nonstop throughout the game. The songs changing every minute became extremely annoying. Even my boyfriend who loves the Timberwolves was driven nuts. The energy wasn't great here, so it was hard to stay interested in the game if you're not a huge fan. I'm originally from Chicago, so I grew up with Bulls games with fun energy that kept you in your seat. I will say that the staff at the stadium are great! We had a great experience with any we met. read more

It's an arena....everything one would expect by going to an arena. Ushers are nice and Grub is not to pricey

We went to a game earlier this year thanks to my boss who has season tickets and offers them to staff! We were sitting pretty close to the players and their stretching area as well. The lines moved fast at the entrance, the halftime games were fun to watch and the food was good for a game/event. We did drive here, and parked in Ramp A, and used the skyway since it was winter. Overall it's a great place for events! read more

My co-worker and I were in town for a conference and on our our last night we decided to find something to do. We found out that TwentyOne Pilots was in town for a concert and decide to book the tickets last min. We arrived early and got parking across the street. Parking was around 18.00 which is cheap for SF prices. We got in pretty fast and the security was quick. The seats were pretty easy to find because they had pretty good signage. The place is pretty clean, esp the restrooms. The seats we had, were a great view for the price we paid! There are a lot of restaurants nearby and it seems like there is public transportation that takes you straight here. I also saw on the map that the walkways will take you straight here.

My first time at Target Center for a Timberwolves game and I am thoroughly impressed. The food options are phenomenal. I grabbed a Parlour burger (yes that Parlour) and it was delicious.

Extremely fun and already looking forward to another game. read more

I've been here a couple times to watch both the Timberwolves and the Lynx. I went through/ had Lexus club access each time-- and I was so deeply disappointed by the food. Especially for the lynx. They definitely get the short end of the stick! However, I always had good seats-- sometimes I could've reached out and touched a player. I won't be back in MN for a while, but my biggest advice if they want to up season tickets is to fix that food. I am from Georgia and let me tell you: Phillips Arena and Mercedes Benz stadium KNOW FOOD. read more

We have been Timberwolves season ticket holders since the inaugural season in 1989. The Target Center has changed so much...well it didn't exist in 1989 as those first game were in the Metrodome. Remember that place? Not a great place to watch basketball (I saw Final Four there in 2001 -- the court looked like a postage stamp). I have enjoyed many basketball games, and agonized over many basketball games in Target Center. Eastview High school boys and girls played in the state tournament there. Lindsay Whalen and the Lynx -- great games. I saw U2 there. So many good memories. Target Center is easy to get to. I typically park at LaSalle and walk a few blocks to avoid additional crowds and traffic. There are many great places to grab a cocktail and snack before a game, Crave, Union, and Seven being a few of my favorites. The recent remodeling is great. I've sat in nearly every major area, court side, club level, suites, upper and lower decks. We have enjoyed our season tickets over the years. It's a good place to enjoy games and concerts. Go Wolves! Go Lynx! read more

Last night I attended the Target Center(TC) for the Millennium Tour. Earlier I was at Cargo Food Authority with my friends for Trivia Night so I was a little late to the concert. No problem though right, it's not like they start on time. I entered TC and was walking to my Cheap Seats, because you know, the tickets were expensive, but I wanted to still treat myself to this experience. As I walk that way a security lady stopped me and looked at my ticket, she stated that that location has been closed already because too many people kept coming and going, and they had a strict no re-entry once people left. She told me I had to go to Guest Services because I was being transferred. All I thought was 'OH CRAP'! As I waited in the Guest Service line, my anxiety rose. Finally, I got to the window and showed the lady my ticket and explained what the security lady told me. She expressed understanding to what I said, and told me to wait a second. As I waited I started to sweat a little more. 'Did I do something wrong, 'Am I going to have to pay more?', 'Well guess this isn't the best experience, and I shouldn't treat myself ever again.' Clearly these are all of the thoughts going through my head. Well...because I was late, and I wasn't rude about the whole situation (she said a few people were yelling at her for having to be transferred to a different cheap seat section), SHE TRANSFERRED ME TO WAY BETTER SEATS! So instead of being transferred to a different cheap seat section that was still open, she gave me lower level seats, and 1 section away from the stage! WOOOHOOO! After having a REALLY LONG APRIL, this was one of the best treats, and I thank the lady who worked there and helped me! I wish I remembered her name because she was so sweet about it all. (Maybe this is a common thing, maybe it isn't, regardless, being nice no matter what goes a long way) At TC there are food and beverage vendors, all very expensive, so I didn't partake in buy anything, but it was nice to see that even for the concert there was quite a selection of things open for people. The bathrooms are all over which is also great, along with plug-ins for those needing to charge electronics. I have been to the TC one other time years ago for the Newsboys Concert, and I felt like they did more with their Visuals and Stage Set-up, then the Millennium Tour Acts, but that is just my opinion. Overall, like everything fun in this world, it's expensive, but I had a great time, and I don't regret going. If there are other things happening here in the future, if I want to go bad enough, I will go. I would like to suggest that people going to concerts or big events get to park for free since we are already spending a ton on the tickets, but parking in the lots is extra. However, that is just wishful thinking on my part. read more

I went to one Timberwolves game and had a great experience! From the outside the arena looks pretty tiny and just like another building downtown. But Target Center's location makes it great to be able to pre-game or grab post-game drinks. Uber and Lyft pick up is also pretty easy. All event staff were really nice and had great upbeat energy for the game! They also do their best to regular the crowds and ensure safety. The only other notable thing is I think the jumbotron in the center of the arena is kind of small. read more
