Twinsfest 2016 has come and gone. I wasn't nearly as fortunate as I was last year or even the year prior (it's first year at Target Field). It was still fun and I took advantage of a few decent deals. I went into it thinking about different things I'd do, but the major focus of Twinsfest is the autograph seekers, the lines they stand in and the areas the players sit in, ready to scribble their name hundreds of times.
I have to think, even tho the Twins would love to keep Twinsfest at Target Field for several more years, the whole 3 day event would be much better served at a larger venue. I think US Bank Stadium would be a great fit. I've been fortunate enough to see detailed plans and maps of how the Vikings plan to draw larger events like Twinfest and it almost makes too much sense. Everything is so clustered at Target Field, since the Twins can only truly use the space behind the dugouts and the Club level as everything else is outside. And moving this event to a bigger space such as the Vikings stadium would help solve several issues.
Twitter & Facebook lit up with pictures and posts from the weekend and it was fun to see a lot of baseball related stuff in January!
