TARGET FIELD PARKING

When the Minnesota Twins came to Minneapolis in 1961, they took over for the minor league Minneapolis Millers and Saint Paul Saints, representing both cities in the MLB. Now based at Target Field in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis, this legendary team can fill its stadium each year during baseball season, so it is prudent to book Target Field parking ahead of the game with ParkWhiz. The Twins were originally based in Washington, D.C., and went under the names “Washington Senators” from 1901-1904 and then from 1956-60, along with the moniker “Washington Nationals” from 1905-1955. While based at the nation’s capital, the team won the World Series in 1924, along with three American League pennants in 1924-25 and 1933. They were originally based at Washington D.C.’s American League Park from 1901-1903, then National Park in 1904-10 and finally Griffith Stadium from 1911-1960. Under the management of Calvin Griffith, the team relocated to Minneapolis in 1961 through a deal with the American League and was renamed the Minnesota Twins. From 1961 to 1981 they were based at Metropolitan Stadium before relocating to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, where they stayed from 1982 to 2009. The team moved into Target Field when it opened to the public in 2010. The team that replaced the Millers and Saints has proven itself to be consistently resilient, winning the World Series in 1987 and 1991, three AL pennants in 1965, 1987 and 1991. They also won twelve West/Central Division titles in 1969, 1970, 1987, 1991, 2002-04, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2019 and most recently in 2020, in addition to winning the wild card berth in 2017. This venerable team has many thousands of dedicated fans, so in order to get a good spot, it is crucial to book Target Field parking in advance with ParkWhiz.
