The team gets prepared to re-christen downtown with more than a little uncertainty.
In the office suite at 1 Twins Way (and in various home offices), Minnesota Twins staffers are feverishly redistributing season ticket holders around the ballpark to accommodate Covid-19 strictures.
The Twins home opener on April 8 and the Timberwolves Target Center tilt with Houston on April 5 will be the first major fan-attended sporting events in downtown Minneapolis since the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Wolves on March 8, 2020. Twins President Dave St. Peter calls it “a coming out party for downtown,” which has been all but deserted for a year.
