Tips before you go
Bags can be no larger than 5 by 9 inches, apart from diaper and medical bags. Everything inside is cashless, and there is no re-entry. The arena has no parking of its own, but the skyway connects it to Ramps A and B and the Mayo Clinic Square ramp, and downtown has nearly 25,000 spaces. Most fans enter at the Main Skyway entrance, while floor-ticket holders go in through the lobby.
How to read the Target Center seating chart
Read the first digit: sections in the 100s are in the lower level, which runs from 101 to 138, and sections in the 200s are in the upper level, from 201 to 240. There is no 300 level. Between the two sits the premium level, named for Treasure Island Resort & Casino, with the Chairman's Club at center court, Club TI on the baseline, suites and theater boxes.
The courtside and front-row clubs are part of the lower level. Lexus Courtside Club seats are on the floor, and U.S. Bank Backcourt Club seats fill the first 8 rows of the lower bowl.
Elevators reach every level. Assistive listening devices are handed out at the Guest Services offices by sections 116 and 216, captioning runs at every home game, and an ASL interpreter can be requested at least 10 business days ahead. Fans with disabilities are told to park in Ramp A or B and enter on the skyway level, and a sensory-friendly room is open at every event.
Building a seating chart for an event at Target Center
Target Center books its clubs and floor for private events. The arena floor holds 2,000 standing or 600 seated, the Lexus Courtside Club 300 standing or 250 seated, Club TI up to 400 standing or 120 seated, the Six One Two lounge 150 standing or 100 seated, the Atrium 200 standing or 150 seated, and the Chairman's Club 80 standing or 40 seated. With 600 seats on the floor, a table plan matters: drop the rounds into the maker, seat the guest list, and print a copy for whoever runs the room.
