Came to B1G tournament, all 5 days. After 3 days of games sitting in section 138 row F, had to set behind people and all I could see was the back of their head. row F has no raise to the seats. If you are thinking of going to the Target Center do not get a seat in section 138 row F, unless you are 7 feet tall. read more

I went to one Timberwolves game and had a great experience! From the outside the arena looks pretty tiny and just like another building downtown. But Target Center's location makes it great to be able to pre-game or grab post-game drinks. Uber and Lyft pick up is also pretty easy. All event staff were really nice and had great upbeat energy for the game! They also do their best to regular the crowds and ensure safety. The only other notable thing is I think the jumbotron in the center of the arena is kind of small. read more

The Timberwolves have a really nice arena here and I love seeing games and shows here. The problem comes with the staff and their extreme tendency to over do everything when it comes to the ticket and security checkpoints. At one large concert they forced doors to open 45 minutes late which left some openers for the show to have almost no crowd by the time they started playing. The staff seems to pick and choose their battles against fans when they please and that will always draw me away read more

The security is awful. They take their authority way too far. Maybe even illegally. We paid $150.00 a seat but do to some unfortunate circumstances we didn't get to them before they kicked us out for standing in the entrance area. read more

Went here to watch the Timberwolves play OKC and it was our first time there to watch a T-Wolves game. After getting through the long lines where they make sure no one brings anything in there they shouldn't we tried to find our seats. We purchased some water $5 a bottle was to be expected with being at a game and all. We went to the curtain which had our number over it so we would know where to sit but it was too many people there on the one side so we went to the other side and sat down. For a tall guy it's kind of crammed, can't really move your feet much. There was beer spilled and they came to clean it up right away. The seats were up high but perfect to still see the game on the Jumbotron and also on the stadium. Great entertainment and the Wolves showed up and showed out, I'll be looking into getting some season tickets next year. read more

Relatively nice area. Went to the /Wolves/Bulls game and had a good time. The area a itself is well maintained and aesthetically pleasing on the inside. Lots of vendors and food options. The staff of the area a was very nice from the ticket takers to the vendors. I'd suggest if you go to a game with two last place teams playing buy your tickets at game time, you might get a slightly better price. Well worth a visit if you like NBA games. read more

Target Center - Wolves/Bulls - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Target center is a decent venue to see a concert, but a great place to watch a basketball game. I go at least 10 times every year and it is such a convenient location. During the basketball season there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The cheap seats are worth it, but every now and it's worth it to spend the money and sit close to the floor. Often you can find package deals for a seat, food and a hat or something. As for concerts, I always try to get floor or seats in the 100s. It's no fun to crank your neck an entire show because your sitting to far out. The food is typical with hot dogs, nachos, pretzels and chips. They do sell alcohol, but they will take your top if they give you a bottle. The best part of the Target Center is the parking ramp has multiple indoor walkways connected to the venue. The worst part about here is the women's bathrooms. Try to hold it for 2 hours if you can, otherwise you will wait in line for about that long! And the ticket fees are unbelievable. read more

This is not a bad place to see a show. I saw Metallica here and it was a freaking amazing show!! The sound system, lights, seats... everything was amazing! The stage and bit were 360°, so there was hardly a bad seat in the house. The line to enter was orderly and moved quickly. There were multiple entrances, and various gates, as well as staff on hand to control the bottlenecks and inform patrons of other entrances with shorter lines. The prices for beer and concessions were more reasonable than I've seen at most Arenas, and they even sold a Metallica themed beer. There were several areas to buy T-shirts and merchandise, including the Timberwolves Team Store, which had been converted into a Metallica Merchandise Shop for the evening. The only reason I knocked off of star is because the ushers didn't seem to know very much about the seating arrangements in the arena. I showed them my ticket, but it was easily a good 20 minutes before I was shown to my seat. Several of the ushers conferred about where this seat actually was, but no one knew for sure. On top of that, one of the ushers recommended that I sit in a nearby seat until the ticket holder for that seat arrive and kicked me out. Ummmmm, no. I Insisted that he find my correct seat, and eventually he did, but that recommendation... I'm still scratching my head at that one. read more

Handicapped parking and instructions are terrible. Once inside, staff were helpful, but had to push wheelchair very long way thru parking ramp even from a "handicapped" spot in ramp A. read more

The last few times I was at Target Center was for the Timberwolves games. We parked in Ramp C and took the skyways right to the center. Getting in the center was pretty straight forward and very fast. Staff was very efficient as getting through everyone and were decent to deal with. Since we hadn't ate yet, we decided to grab something for the game. We decided to go with Parlour's burgers. Wow. These burgers were so great. Maybe it was because we were starving. But this is most likely the best part of our experience here. The only downside was they were a little expensive. The seats we had were upper level seats, nothing fancy at all. The seats were overall fine, it was just a little crowded and wasn't very much room. For someone who needs to stretch their legs, this was not fun. I got up and walked around as much as I could just to tech a bit. Overall the Target Center is a good facility. It is expensive, but that is to be expected. read more

Great experience , ease of finding what you looking for & quick self checkout service

It gets the job done when it comes to Basketball games and concerts, but man this place needs a facelift. We came here recently for the Lynx's playoff game and the seats we sat in were stained by some many different questionable fluids. The green seats really show their wear and tear. I know that they stadium is already in the process of renovations, so that is good to see. I am hoping we will get better food options, new seats, and maybe some nicer restrooms? We shall see... In all reality though, at least we have a place to watch basketball and concerts. I'm happy with that. read more

Excellent venue. Well kept, clean, and outstanding service. Combined with the wolves, the mobile app is extremely helpful and I use it buy tickets and merchandise. Love seeing basketball games here.

Last Sunday I was all set to be a couch potato and watch the Wolves game on TV while consuming a delvery pizza. My son cajoled me into going to the game with him. I'm really glad he did. We had a great time. We purchased two upper deck, fourth row, mid-court seats for $35 each. Compared to the dark days of the not too distant past when courtside seats could be had for a song, these may not have been a huge bargain. But the sightlines were fine and the action compelling. No complaints. As good the T-Wolves are, they are still a work in progress. They'll have nights when nothing seems to gel and they experience growing pains. Making the ups and downs easier to take is the newly renovated Target Center. Gone are the days when Target Center was a dark, cramped, stale smelling venue that seemed to reek of missed opportunities, chronic setbacks, disastrous luck and head-scratchingly obtuse decision making. Frankly, one felt trapped in an overall pall of despair on entry. But wonder of wonders! It's now brighter, cleaner, more spacious and is so transformed as to almost appear to be brand new. Food choices have expanded and improved. Staff nearly uniformly welcoming and courteous. To top it off, we were in and out of the B ramp in relatively short order. I have a feeling we'll both be back sooner than later. Maybe next time we'll stick around downtown after the game for a post-game bite to eat. read more

I went to the Timberwolves home opener. It has been a while since I have been here. They did a lot of nice remodeling. It was very clean and there were a wide variety of food items and drink options. I had a great time and would definitely recommend going to an event here. There was near by parking garages and skyways that connect to the Target Center. read more

With the new renovation of Target Center I can say its a lot nicer then it use to be. I love that they now have a beer garden area in section 121 so you can stand and watch the game. The food is a lot better then it use to be and now all new seat!!!!!! Some of my favorite foods are the Parlor burger and the chicken stir fry in section 126! read more

I have to say I've been at the target center a lot this year. Every time I come it is very well kept. It's always clean. The security is nice and very helpful. During event the JACK LINKS WIDE SIDE store are out in the halls taking pictures. Giving out samples. You can even bring Jack links jerky inside to your seat. They always have a daily deal. Lifetime fitness is there. As well as six one two, Lexus club and much more. If you haven't seen the new target center....GET DOWN THERE read more

"We can go to a Lynx game!" my friend enthusiastically told me when we were discussing what we had time for and what we had to eliminate on our trip to Minnesota. Insert eye roll here. I have little to no interest in basketball as it is. Needless to say when she kept bringing up going to a WNBA game, I would quickly try to change the subject. Even when she offered to buy our tickets, I still wasn't all that thrilled. But some of our choices were about compromise, so I finally decided to say okay. Cut to our awesome seats, a great crowd and an amazing team (apparently the Minnesota Lynx dominate the WNBA, again I was clueless) that really embraces its fans. We ended up having one of the best times of our 10 day trip here at the Target Center. How much you enjoy and how highly you rate the Target Center will obviously have something to do with the event itself and the crowd around you. I can without a doubt say you won't be disappointed at a Lynx game. read more

I was definitely impressed after a 5 year hiatus away from the target center. The renovations aren't holistic: the concourses are still pretty low budget, but the scoreboard, court and seating experience are definitely elevated. The 50% off everything for season ticket holders is a crazy good perk. Overall a great experience. read more

So this review is going to be biased since I was just there for one of my fave bands' concert tonight. It's somewhat of a challenge to rate a concert hall since it's the quality show that should matter more than the setting of a place, but I am willing to say that I was satisfied with the quality of the sound system they have. Thanks to the stupid promo on Groupon, I bought a deal for the section that's supposed to be closer to the stage but somehow ended up wayyyy the hell in the nosebleed section. So much for that 10 extra bucks...At any rate, I guess it somewhat worked out fine since the seating at that altitude offers a pretty good view of the mingling crowd in the arena itself. Since the opening acts (much props to Kid Koala!) had some good crowd mixing activities (dance competitions), I was glad to not be part of the unlucky few who gets pulled into the whole commotion. It's much more fun to watch from where I was at though! One of the things that the stadium could improve on is to put up more projector screens around the stage. Since most people looked like ants from my section, having a monitor to display their faces (especially of the band) would really help in upping the entertainment bit of the experience. This is totally irrelevant with the review of the place, but I can't help it...ARCADE FIRE!!!! read more

Target Center - the most anticipated night of winter has finally arrived...Ohhhh yeahhhh - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

See all

This building is centered in centered downtown spot with many different shopping and eating areas around it. The building itself is interesting because it seems to be all stairs and escalators. When you walk into the main lobby you are nestled in a large waiting room with box offices at the far end and the entrance doors to the far right. When you walk into the door ways you have a maze of staircases bringing you up to a second lobby which houses a free standing merchandise stand and then another set of staircases split to go opposite directions when you finally reach the main concourse. When you are finally on the main level you can opt to walk around the spacious hallways filled with more merch stands and alot of food and bathroom stops or proceed up to the top level via yet another set of stair cases. Sitting in the arena is typical plastic seats but pretty comfortable considering they don't sell out very often anymore( i was there for a basketball game.) However for concerts I could see that they could be uncomfortable because of the older design they are not really meant for larger people. read more

Other than the lousy acoustics, broken/worn seats, tiny concourses, expensive drinks, sure!

Also - if you don't like the corporate naming get over it because it is the only way arenas get built and maintained these days. I hear the city is going to ante up to renovate the dump (eg property tax owners) read more

every time i come home i try to get to a wolves game if they are playing and every time i hope the target center will be better. they did renovations a few years ago and even that didnt make it much better. the good parts are sight lines are usually pretty good wherever you might sit. pretty easy to get in and out of the building. skyway system lets you not have to go outside if you park in the ramps which is very helpful in the winter time. the bad beyond the play of the wolves most seasons are pretty much everything else that comes with new stadiums. seats are cramped and not comfortable. walking around the concourse is not fun at all. there are no sight lines to the stadium while you are out and not many screens so you can watch the action while waiting. the food options are all pretty basic stadium food without much fun things to pick from. if you like hot dogs fries or chicken tenders youre in luck if you want anything else eat before you come. the team stores are very small and underwhelming. you can only get jerseys of 3 players and no one else. overall seems like the stadium equivalent of our great owner glen taylor. old outdated and underwhelming. read more

Never go to an event here including the time wolves. The organizers don't know how to run an event and it takes two hours just to get in. Good thing there isn't a recession... oh wait there is and the target center is the home to the worst basketball team in the world so not sure why they aren't letting people into an event. You all should be ashamed. This is terrible and the owner and organizers should seriously learn a har fucking lesion about business. Never go to an event at the target center. NEVER! read more

Worst ever. We only come once a year. Everytime they mess up our tickets and make us wait in line. This time was the worst. Then they forced us to come in early and you can't reenter. Boo all around. read more

I have not been to the Target Center for a while. I was pleasantly surprised. It seems much nicer than before. They have so many food choices from popular MPLS restaurants. Such as Parlour, Fhima's, Pagoda's etc... I was super surprised to see this. For event parking in the ramp it was only $10 which is a great deal! Being able to park in the ramp makes it easy to attend any event here. I was seeing parking outside for $15 or more for "event". So parking at the ramp is definitely a better deal. read more

This rating is for Fhima's at Target Center. I have never paid $14 for such tasteless chicken. There was absolutely no seasoning sprinkled on the chicken, it was very over cooked and the BBQ sauce that provided was a marinara concoction that should not be called at BBQ sauce. Save you money and just get a hot dog from another concessions stand. Or the burger from Parlour next door! read more

I have been here for several events --most recently the Garth concert. It's a big ass event center so what can be said about that really other than the bathrooms were clean--we entered without much drama and the staff that were available were efficient and friendly---they had a nice amount of food and drink choices. I did not think the shock top beer offering was too shabby with price compared to some choices. For the amount of people and drinking that were going on i never felt like the crowd was out of control and it was good entertainment! read more

Target Center - Nosebleed seats at the Amy Grant & Michael W Smith concert - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Target Center is a very nice building in downtown Minneapolis. I came here for the Black Keys concert in September. While I usually try to stay away from bigger venues such as this for concerts, we couldn't pass up this one. The tickets were of course a bit pricy. We did have really good seats though. I would suggest parking in the Target Center/Filed ramps. I think we did ramp A and it made everything pretty easy. There is a skyway so you never even have to go outdoors. I think it ended up costing about $10 for the night. Check in was easy. Security is pretty heavy so they will go through your bags. Drinks and food are expensive as one would expect. I think a tiny mixed drink was around $14. For seating, there is definitely not a shortage. We were on the side a little bit from the stage but it was perfect. We could see the band without being blasted from the sound. I honestly think these seats are better than the floor seats. The venue is clean and spacious. Is it my top choice for a concert? No. I would rather go to a smaller local place. But if someone I really love comes to Target Center, I would go again. read more

I came to the target center to watch the Timberwolves game in a executive suite and the view was amazing!

With the new Timberwolves lineup and the remodels that I have heard they were doing, I was pretty excited to get into the arena and check it all out! However, when we walked in and got to the concourse everything comes rushing back to you about this building, dark and dingy, closed off and not welcoming at all. This has nothing to do with the staff or the people working there, strictly speaking about the building and how unwelcoming it is. With all of the new or new-er-ish stadiums in town, I couldn't help but wish this place would have gotten the Metrodome treatment... The part that did bump this from a 2 star up to a 3 star is that once you get to your seats you see they have improved the video boards in the building. The new center court video board is massive, it has to be 20x bigger than the old one! They also put 4 screens above the upper level seats in each corner, you can now actually see the replays when they play them! All in all, I hope some of the construction that is still going on in there opens it up a bit and makes it more welcoming. Nothing is more depressing than a losing team playing in a stuffy, dark, and dingy building! read more

For the ribald at heart, rough around the edges sort of unrefined but robust & vital event, whether sport or music, this is a venue that holds it well. Parking and the skywa are easy enough. Show up a half an hour early to situate on time. The speakers are by no means to carry refined sounds but are excellent for the coarser vibes. Seeing 2Cellos is like the rock n roll version of cello & Target Cemter was perfect for their sound and visuals to convey. read more

Oh, Target Center. It's pretty obvious just by looking you that your exterior design was conceived in the 80's, and by any measure, that is never a good thing (I too was conceived in the 80's). Oh well. I hope your renovation project goes through so that you are amazing once more. I'm one of the remaining 27 Timberwolves fans, so I make the journey to this place quite a bit during the winter. Frankly, the location is pretty convenient. It's about a block from the nearest light rail station, and there are tons of bars/restaurants nearby. There's been some remodeling done inside to spruce up the original drab nature of the place. But you can still tell that it's just getting to be kind of old. And not the charming kind of old, either. Fun fact: Target Center is the 28th busiest building in the country. It's not just the Timberwolves playing here. There is something going on all the time. It may be aging, but it is really the only arena its size in Minneapolis, and that makes an asset to the city. I almost always have a good time here. read more

I always look forward to any concert that are represented here. In my case recently, it was Alan Jackson. The Target Center is not gigantic that you cannot see your artist. The sound system is near perfect. The service people are extremely helpful and know their way around. The only thing I don't care for is their ground floor seatings especially with a great concert... Don't expect to sit down...devoted fans will probably be standing the whole time. With the main floor, you might get to see everything, especially if you are naturally not tall. If you like to sit down occasionally during a concert, consider getting 'stadium' seats that just above main floor. Just my preference. read more

The Target Center, I would actually give a 3 1/2 but I'll round 3. I have seen some T-Wolves games, NBA All Star Game and a few concerts here! I will be the first to admit, I have never had good seats here! So maybe that hurts my experience a bit, but I remember thinking how cool and awesome the Target Center was when it was built.. I Don't think its much to look at from the outside compared to Target Field, but it's nice. I thought the acoustics for the concerts were so/so and the food and drink is average stadium prices! Never blown away, but never disappointed either.. That's the Target Center experience for me. read more
