Metropolitan Club

A reminder - holding a season ticket (any of our tickets) for a game gives you access that day to the Metropolitan Club.  This is different from the Legends Club...this is the large 2-level glass-enclosed area in the RF corner.

See the Twins website for more details.

Note - if you're looking to try out the buffet, you'll likely need reservations.  And you'll need the account number for the season ticket account to place them.  That number is printed on the tickets.  It looks like after the 4th inning, the menu becomes ala carte and I don't think you need a reservation for that? (may need to ask...it looks like the 2nd seating reservation is good for the remainder of the game).

For in-game dining, the 2nd seating, there are some seats that allow you to see the field (including some outside), but otherwise there are monitors for the other seats.

If you're not eating, you should be able to walk in and look around...and go to the bar for a drink.  I guess if it's completely full they may not allow that.  But on Sunday, Steve and I went up there and got in with no problem.

If you're just planning to go to the bar and there's a big line...don't walk away immediately - that could be the line of people waiting for their dinner reservations.  Walk up and see if they'll let you in.

Suggestion - due to the crowd choking point of people entering the stadium at the 2 gates coming from the Target Plaza area, if you're sitting in the 3B seats you might want to go up the escalators on the 3B side and work your way around that way.

Why join our season ticket package?

The Twins are opening up packages soon for people with end-of-season, flex plans, and other previous season-ticket plans.  Later on, tickets will be available for brand new accounts.  Why buy with us?  Or - why buy season tickets in the first place instead of grabbing them along the way?
  • Longevity and priority: We have 10 years of priority in getting seats.  We selected our seats in May 2009, so we're in among the best seats in each price range.
  • Club seating - we're probably sold out for 2010, but getting in the group now secures your chance to get Legends Club seats in future seasons.
  • Playoff location: As full-season ticket holders, we'll get our exact location for playoff ticket strips, plus extra ticket possibilities before they go on sale to the general public.
  • Flexibility: Though there are limits because of the number of people in the group (sometimes requesting the same games), the full season plan allows flexibility and choice in the games you request...without limiting you to a specific 20 games in the season.  Plus, since our tickets are in blocks of 4, you can get 2 tickets to some games and 4 tickets for others if that suits your needs better.
  • Metropolitan Club:  If you hold a season ticket for a game, it will give you access to the Metropolitan Club that day.

Did you Know? Season Ticket Holder Club Room

When you attend a game at the dome with an original season ticket, you can gain access to the Mirassou Winery Sun Room.

A description: Located at section 109, the Stadium Club is to open Season Ticket Holders from the time gates open until one hour after the game. This non-smoking area features a full service bar, dining options, and special events and opportunities for Season Ticket Holders. To gain access guests must show their season ticket.

I didn't know this until now, but on Tuesdays they've been running a Baseball Author Series and there are 2 more opportunities to see that.  The club also has a special menu - as an example, here's the one from August: http://mlb.com/min/downloads/y2009/sth_august_menu.pdf

To be honest, I went there once in 2006 or so and that was about enough for me.  Nothing special.  And beer in cans.

But - that should all change in Target Field.  While we do have access to Legends Club tickets (and that will include an enclosed viewing area, plus special bars/restaurants and separate restrooms), everyone who holds a season ticket for that night's game will be able to get into the Metropolitan Club in the right field corner.

Other options being explored include reserving dinner spots in the Metropolitan Club before and during games, selling separate game tickets for seating in the Club, and similar separate seating options are being considered for the rooftop deck.
