MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL, MN – With the Minnesota Twins opening Target Field to full, 100 percent capacity, without restrictions, beginning July 5, the club today announced plans to celebrate a “Welcome Back Week” for its fans during the July 5-11 homestand. All seven games vs. American League Central division rivals the Chicago White Sox (July 5-7) and Detroit Tigers (July 8-11) will feature some combination of a promotional giveaway, theme night or other special event.

“Monday, July 5 – when we can fully open the Target Field gates and welcome back all Twins fans – will be a wonderful moment 636 days in the making,” said Twins President & CEO Dave St. Peter. “It has been a long and sometimes unfathomable road from October 2019 to today. We cannot wait to fully remove all barriers and come together with our incredible fans and community to celebrate each other, Twins baseball and our shared Target Field experience.”

“Welcome Back Week” tickets are available now at twinsbaseball.com/welcomebackweek**, or by calling 1-800-33-TWINS.** Fans can also pre-reserve their preferred, discounted game day parking in Ramps A & B and the Hawthorne Ramp.
