About Target Center

Opening in 1990 and most recently renovated in 2014, this arena and is mostly used for basketball and concerts. It's known for being the first North American sports arena to have a green roof that captures nearly 1 million gallons of storm water to prevent drainage into the Mississippi River.

Tour Info

Fan Tips

Target Center offers a centrally located arena experience in downtown Minneapolis, connected to the city’s skyway system for easy access in all weather conditions.

Fans often arrive via public transit or by walking through the skyways, creating a seamless entry into the arena.

The seating bowl provides solid sightlines, and the atmosphere can become lively during key moments.

Food options include a mix of traditional concessions and local offerings, with efficient service throughout the arena.

After the game, the downtown setting makes it easy to continue exploring nearby restaurants and entertainment options.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

Diaper Bags and medical bags are permitted. All bags larger than 5"x9" such as backpacks, suitcases, beach bags, etc. will be prohibited from entry into the arena.  All bags are subject to inspection before entry.  For more information, visit the stadium website.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
