Target Center events — Minneapolis, MN

Discover the Premier Target Center Arena

The Target Center is more than an arena — it's a premier destination that anchors downtown Minneapolis’s live entertainment scene. From NBA and WNBA action to blockbuster concerts, Target Center events bring fans together all year long in the heart of the Warehouse District.

Opened in 1990, Target Center seats approximately 19,356 for basketball, with capacities that vary by event. A $145 million renovation completed in 2017 refreshed nearly every corner — from new seating and concourses to premium spaces — and modernized the exterior for a bold skyline presence. Notably, Target Center was among the first major U.S. arenas to install a green roof, a sustainable feature that improves energy efficiency and manages stormwater.

Home to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx, the arena has hosted the 1994 NBA All-Star Game, multiple WNBA Finals games featuring the Lynx, and the 2018 WNBA All-Star Game. Its stage has welcomed icons including Prince, Madonna, Elton John, Garth Brooks, Metallica, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, and U2, plus annual crowd-pleasers like the Harlem Globetrotters.

Inside, you’ll find a high-definition center-hung scoreboard, an upgraded sound system, and LED lighting that elevate every game, concert, and family show. Premium clubs — including the Lexus Courtside Club and TCL Theater Boxes — pair upscale amenities with prime views, while the Club Level and suites offer elevated experiences for groups, clients, and special nights out.

Whether you’re cheering a last-second Timberwolves bucket, rallying with the Lynx, or singing along to your favorite headliner, Target Center delivers the energy of Minneapolis at its best. Explore the Target Center upcoming events, pick your seats, and get ready for an unforgettable night downtown.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Target Center offers seating for approximately 19,356 guests, with a two-level bowl configuration, premium clubs, suites, and specialized areas that adapt for basketball, concerts, and special events. Numbered lower-bowl sections 101–138 and upper-bowl sections 201–240 ring the floor, while premium options like the Lexus Courtside Club, TCL Theater Boxes, and Club Level add comfort and amenities. For the best match to your view and budget, use the Target Center seating chart to compare vantage points before you buy.

• Lower Bowl Center (Sections 110–112, 130–132): These are prime choices for basketball, with clear sightlines to both baskets and easy reads of plays as they develop. Rows A–Z vary by section, so consult the Target Center seating chart for exact row counts and to target the mid-to-lower rows for a close-to-the-action feel.

• Lexus Courtside Club: If you want an ultra-premium experience, courtside seating paired with club access delivers top-tier amenities and the closest proximity to the floor. Expect outstanding service and an intimate view of the action you won’t forget.

• Club Level: Elevated views, shorter lines, and upgraded concessions make the Club Level ideal for a comfortable night out. It offers excellent sightlines for both games and concerts, along with a more relaxed concourse experience.

• TCL Theater Boxes: Perfect for small groups, these semi-private boxes combine a great view with in-seat conveniences and curated food-and-beverage options. It’s a stylish way to enjoy the show while keeping your party together.

• Upper Bowl (Sections 201–240): Upper-level seats are the value play for families and larger groups. Rows typically run 1–15; aim for the first several rows to balance price and perspective. Compare sections on the Target Center seating chart to zero in on the angle you prefer.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Target Center

600 N 1st Ave

Minneapolis, MN 55403

Located in downtown Minneapolis, Target Center sits steps from the Warehouse District’s dining and nightlife, with easy access from major city arteries and transit lines.

• Parking: Multiple nearby ramps and lots serve the arena, including the ABC Ramps and Ramp B, which connects via the skyway system. Event rates typically range from $10–$20+ and pre-paid parking is available.

• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are set on 7th Street and 1st Avenue for smooth arrivals and exits.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. This gives you time to park, pass through security, explore the concourses, and settle into your seats without rushing. If you’ve pre-booked parking in the ABC Ramps or Ramp B, follow posted signage and consider using the skyway connections to reach the arena comfortably.

Minneapolis winters can be snowy and icy, so allow extra travel time and dress for the weather when attending fall and winter events. While the arena is indoors, conditions can impact driving and parking availability. Public transit — including the light rail to Target Field Station — helps you bypass traffic and get to the doors on schedule.

Because the venue sits in a walkable downtown area with minimal elevation change, getting around is straightforward. Keep your mobile tickets ready, and connect to the arena’s free Wi‑Fi once inside if you need to pull up your order details. For the fastest entry, have your bag ready for inspection and review the bag policy before you arrive.

Venue Navigation

Target Center is organized around lower and upper seating bowls, with wide concourses, clear signage, and multiple elevators offering access to all levels. Guest Services is available to help with wayfinding, accessible services, and assistive listening devices.

You’ll find concessions, team merchandise kiosks, family restrooms, and first aid stations throughout the arena. Premium clubs — including the Lexus Courtside Club and TCL Theater Boxes — offer expanded menus and dedicated lounges. ATMs and select mobile charging stations are located in convenient areas. While walking distances are moderate, comfortable footwear makes it easier to browse concessions and merchandise between quarters or set breaks.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Small bags only (typically 12"x6"x12" or smaller). A clear bag policy may be in effect for some events; backpacks are prohibited.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, professional cameras, selfie sticks, noisemakers, and laser pointers.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Consider pre-paying for parking in the ABC Ramps or Ramp B for a faster arrival.
• In winter, allow extra time for weather and use the skyway connections when possible.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by enjoying downtown dining before doors open — restaurants surrounding the arena offer everything from quick bites to upscale experiences. If you arrive early, take a moment outside to enjoy the arena’s striking exterior lighting displays, especially vivid after dark post-renovation.

Coordinate with friends by choosing a meeting spot in advance — the main entrance area, a specific concourse section, or a designated skyway link are easy landmarks. If you’re aiming for a premium experience, explore club seating, suites, or the TCL Theater Boxes; they pair great views with upgraded menus and amenities. Checking the Target Center upcoming events in advance can also help you plan for special theme nights or added pre-show activities.

Public transit can streamline your night — the Metro Transit light rail to Target Field Station and nearby bus routes drop you within a short walk of the doors. If you’re driving, secure pre-paid parking and follow event-day signs to your ramp for the smoothest arrival.

Accessibility

Target Center is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking available in nearby ramps (including Ramp B and C), accessible seating on all levels, and multiple elevators and accessible entrances throughout the arena. Assistive listening devices are available at Guest Services, and accessible drop-off zones help guests arrive close to the entry.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving pizza, burgers, snacks, and local specialties. Premium clubs feature expanded menus, and bars throughout the concourses offer local craft beers.

Minnesota-inspired eats are part of the experience — think walleye sandwiches and cheese curds alongside game-day classics. Whether you’re craving quick-service bites or an upgraded club menu, there’s something for every taste.
