Article: Target Field Features New Spaces, Beers And Eats

[John Bonnes]

The Minnesota Twins, Delaware North and Target Field unveiled new spaces, new designs, new food and new beer. Given the last, we sent our resident drunk local beer expert, John Bonnes, to sample the fare. Here are his reports:

 

 

 

 

 

And then the event began; here are a few of the reports. For the whole collection, head over to @TwinsDaily on Twitter. While you're there, maybe follow them too....

 

 

 

Those were delicious by the way. I expect them to be pretty popular. There are also the old stand-bys......

 

 

And then we get to the important stuff...

 

 

 

But as good as that was, the real highlight is the new Bat & Barrel space in right field, which is now open to all visitors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally a few other food notes:

 

 

 

 

Finally, there was some great artwork, too.

 

 

 

 

These rank among some of the biggest improvement we've seen in Target Field. I'm looking forward to hearing people's impressions as they attend this first homestand.

You never did get back to letting us know how the Perkins-Surly beer turned out.  Did you have a chance to try it, and if so, what did you think?

I hope one of the new spaces is a warming house...

I like your idea of opening the Bat & Barrel for road games. Hopefully it catches the Twins ears.

The Surly bus appears to have sold out, unsurprisingly.

I can't wait to check out that local craft beer mecca, looks like a fantastic addition.

Adam Turman did a huge mural in that space and shared a time lapse of it on YouTube:

CONCUR!

 

But doesn’t the Pohlad family still own a Pepsi distributorship?

Looks amazing - is Target Field open for away games or just the exhibits maybe? Was that announced in a podcast or something?

Seems like Target Field should throw open the doors to one of their bars during road ballgames, for the diehards like me, cost/benefit be damned. I mean, a guy can still get kicked out of certain bars around here for asking to put the Twins game on, though it's not as bad as it was a few years ago
