New public space to be opened at Target Field
Target Corporation, the Minnesota Twins, the Minnesota Ballpark Authority and fans will celebrate the official opening and dedication of Target Plaza at Target Field on 13 March. Target Plaza will be the gateway into Target Field and is designed as a vibrant community gathering space for Twins fans of all ages. To celebrate the special dedication event, Target will bring a taste of summer to Target Plaza with a warm weather-inspired outdoor festival including music, interactive activities and food for the entire family.
Target Plaza, designed by Populous and oslund.and.assoc, is a walking bridge and public space connecting Target Field to the heart of downtown Minneapolis, beginning at the corner of First Avenue and Sixth Street. Features include nine 40ft baseball bat-inspired topiaries, an oversized bronze baseball glove as a symbol of the annual Gold Glove award, The Twins Tradition Wall, legend statues, Twins Hall of Fame pennants, a Minnesota baseball history monument, and a wind-powered wall installation called The Wave, designed by artist Ned Kahn.
“Twins fans have a deep appreciation for the history and traditions associated with baseball,” said Dave St. Peter, president of the Minnesota Twins. “Each feature in Target Plaza, from the art to the player wall, was designed to celebrate our great game.”
