Twins to sell standing room tickets

The Twins are going to increase capacity at Target Field, sort of.
They aren't adding seats, they're allowing people to stand all over the park.
A couple games ago, the announced attendance was over 40,000 - which surprised some, because the listed seating capacity for Target Field is 39,506.

"We could get 41,000 people in here if we really wanted to," said Dave St. Peter in an article from the Star Tribune (click Twins to Sell Standing room tickets for article).

Target Field does have many places for "standing-room only" around the ballpark. You saw a lot of that during the first few weeks of the season when the weather became less than desirable, especially during the night games.

It clogged the concourses, though. But it seems as though the Twins have worked all the details out and will be selling more standing-room tickets; and will also be installing more "drink-rails" around the stadium to accommodate more standing-room tickets being sold.

The Budweiser Party Deck out in left field, above the Administration Building has two spots for seating: there are more expensive "bar-rail" seats that are around $30-35 per game. Standing-room up on the Party Deck is $10-12.

Most of the seats up there go to groups, though. I believe the Twins were going to have single-game seats up there for select games. I checked with a ticket representative from the Twins; he tells me the single-game seats up in the Budweiser Deck are sold out for the season.
