Target Field Bag Policy 2023 And MN Twins Prohibited Rules

Twins Stadium bag policy state that fans can't bring bags larger than 16 inches by 8 inches by 16 inches. The bag must also be single-compartment.

From the 2023 season, the Twins have established a screening solution named Evolv Express at all five gates at the stadium. This technology allows fans to walk through the security without showing the items from their pockets or purses.

The enhanced technology is kept in place to speed up entry and provide top security to the fans. It also helps to improve the fan experience as they don't have to wait in line to get their items checked, physically.

However, the gate officials can still physically inspect your pockets, bags, or purses to ensure they comply with the stadium and major league policy. 

Here are the types of bags allowed inside the ballpark:

• Single-compartment tote bags
• Clear bags
• Drawstring bags
• Diaper bags
• Fanny packs
• Single-compartment soft-sided coolers
• Bags containing medically necessary items

In case of physical inspection, fans are only allowed if their item follows the stadium guidelines. Any bag that is deemed prohibited can not be taken inside the stadium.

Target Field bag rules state that the prohibited bag must either be returned to the vehicle or thrown away or kept in the bag storage locker provided by the team. Unlike some other major league stadiums, Target Field does not charge a fee for using the Bag Storage lockers.

The lockers are located near Target Field Station and Gate 6.

Here are the types of bags prohibited inside the Target Field:

• Backpacks
• Multi-compartment laptop bags
• Camera bags
• Duffel Bags
• Any bag exceeding the size of 16 inches by 8 inches by 16 inches

Multi-compartment bags are allowed if they are being primarily used as diaper bags or child-care bags given that they abide by the bag size restriction.

In addition, the stadium also prohibits bringing beach balls, fireworks, coolers, inflatables, laser pointers, flasks, frisbees, boom boxes, ball retrievers, balloons, bats, brooms, lawn chairs, and any sort of items that can be harmful to others.

Purse Policy

Target Field purse policy allows fans to bring clutch purses and purses that do not exceed the size 16"x16"x8". The purses must be on the soft side.

The purse is checked either through Evolv Express technology or by gate officials at the time of entry to make sure it meets the standards of the ballpark's policies and rules.

And if deemed not meeting the standards, you will be asked to return the purse to your vehicle or throw it away. Just like with the bags, you can use a locker to keep your wallet while you're at the ballpark for free.

Target Field food policy permits fans to bring their food into the ballpark. The food must be in a soft-sided container that fits under your seat.

However, food brought from outside can not be brought into any of the bars, restaurants, and lounge areas inside the ballpark. Further, any food item that can be thrown easily toward other people, such as tomatoes or apples, should be sliced.

In addition, plenty of concessions inside the stadium provide all sorts of food and beverages. So, you can buy food and drinks from any one of them in case you haven't brought your food.
