Minnesota may be the home to hockey but it's also home to one of the best ballparks in the United States. Target Field is the perfect place to enjoy a ballpark frank, a cold beer and some good old baseball. Here are ten reasons why Target Field will always be the best ballpark.
1. Izzy's Ice Cream
With over 100 different flavors of ice cream to choose from and endless amounts of toppings, not to mention that it's locally owned, who wouldn't want to enjoy Izzy's Ice Cream on a hot summer day at Target Field?
2. Golden Glove photo op
This giant golden glove recognizes the Twins players who have won the Gold Glove Award. Including players such as, Torii Hunter, Joe Mauer and the one and only Kirby Puckett. This is a must do photo op when attending a game.
3. Fireworks
Enjoy the spectacular show of fireworks with the beautiful background of the city after the game.
4. Killebrew Root Beer
Granted you can get Killebrew Root Beer other places, it just feels right to drink a nice cold Killebrew at the good ole' ballpark. I would recommend trying the Killebrew Cream soda, too!
5. Helmet nachos
Chips, a layer of meat and nacho cheese and topped with your toppings of choice, all inside of a Twins helmet. This is a fan favorite when it comes to foods at Target Field.
6. Circle Me Bert signs
Former Twins player, Bert Blyleven, is the announcer for the Minnesota Twins games on Fox Sports North. All fans know that the "Circle Me Bert" signs are a must if you want to be physically circled on TV.
7. Mascot race
This is one event that is fun for all ages to watch and is one you'll always remember. How it works is you pick your prediction on who you think is going to win on your mobile device and you get to watch the mascots actually race on the field. If your mascot wins, you win!
8. Minnie and Paul
Minnie and Paul are an icon in the Minnesota Twins world. This sign is very unique, when the Twins hit a home run or if the Twins win, Minnie and Paul shake hands.
9. The Stadium Itself
I mean seriously, just look at how beautiful the stadium is. With the view of the Minneapolis skyline and the gorgeous limestone, it makes it one of the most beautiful ballparks. There's no roof, but the stadium is heated when Minnesota weather calls.
10. Home of the Twins
In my opinion, the number one reason Target Field is the best stadium is the fact that it's home to the Twins. Minnesotan's love their Twins and love being a part of the fun and memories that are made at Target Field.
