Let’s Play Two: Twins to Host High School Game After Saturday’s Twins Game

Soon after the Twins wrap up their game against the Tigers, the field will be turned over to a pair of southeast Minnesota high school teams: Byron and Stewartville. It’s the first of six high school games that the Twins will host this season at Target Field, matching the ballpark’s record for most prep games in a single year.

You don’t need to register, you don’t need an extra ticket, and you won’t get shuffled out after the big-league game wraps up. If you have a ticket to the Twins game, you’re in for the high school game, too. Just hang tight after the final out, and they’ll get things going. Or, if you don't have a ticket to the Twins game, Gate 29 and Gate 6 will stay open through the end of the high school game.

Seating is open in the lower level, anywhere in foul territory. And while the full concession lineup won’t be running, the stand at Section 109 will stay open — though don’t plan on grabbing a cold one; it’s strictly soda and snacks during the high school action.

The atmosphere should be great. The Twins will be running the full Target Field experience for these kids — full PA, video boards, LED screens, the whole deal. For a lot of these players, this will be the biggest stage they’ve played on, and I expect you’ll see it in the energy on the field.

If you can’t make it, Saturday’s not the only day for this promotion. Next Wednesday afternoon, Target Field will host a triple-header. After the Twins face the Mets, Lakeville North will take on Lakeville South, followed by Highland Park vs. St. Paul Academy/Summit School.

So, if you’ve got the time and the ticket, stick around. You’ll get a little extra baseball, a little extra community, and a reminder of how fun this game can be at any level.
