Game Day Group Transportation: U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Field and Target Center

Downtown Minneapolis has three major sports venues within walking distance of each other: U.S. Bank Stadium (Vikings and large concerts), Target Field (Twins) and Target Center (Timberwolves and Lynx). On event days, traffic and curb space around each venue are managed closely. A group vehicle works best when the drop-off zone, timing and post-game meeting point are planned ahead.

U.S. Bank Stadium

U.S. Bank Stadium is at 401 Chicago Avenue in the East Town area. The stadium designates specific locations for limousine, rideshare and charter drop-offs and pickups, and vehicles inside the secured perimeter are subject to security inspection. Zones change for some events, so check the stadium's official directions and alternate transportation page for the event you are attending and send the zone to your chauffeur.

Target Field

Target Field sits at 1 Twins Way in the North Loop, next to the Target Field light rail station. Rideshare pickups have used Twins Way between 7th and 10th streets near Gate 29, and drop-off zones run along 7th Street near Gate 14. Confirm current zones in the Minnesota Twins ballpark guide before game day.

Target Center

Target Center is on 1st Avenue North, one block from Target Field, and connects to the downtown skyway system. Drop-offs on 1st Avenue and 6th Street are common, but event traffic and road closures change curb availability.

Timing your arrival

• Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before start time for security lines, especially at U.S. Bank Stadium.
• Add 15–20 minutes for downtown traffic in the final hour before kickoff or first pitch.
• Tailgating groups should confirm which lots allow it; most downtown curbside zones are drop-off only.

The post-game pickup

The end of the game is the hardest part of game-day transportation. Tens of thousands of people leave at once and streets near the venue are congested.

1. Choose a meeting point before the game. A spot two or three blocks from the venue is often faster than the official zone.
2. Agree on a meeting time, such as 20 minutes after the final whistle.
3. Count heads before the vehicle leaves.

Choosing the vehicle

Groups of 14 to 24 fit a limo bus; smaller groups fit an SUV or stretch. Hourly reservations work best for game days because the chauffeur stays downtown during the event. See hourly vs. point-to-point car service to decide.
