Target Field is one of the easier ballparks in American sport to reach without a car. Two METRO light rail lines, the Blue Line and the Green Line, stop right beside the stadium at Target Field Station on 5th Street, putting you closest to Gate 6 (Oliva) and Gate 29 (Carew). The Blue Line also runs directly from Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport, normally taking roughly 30 to 40 minutes with no transfer, though construction can sometimes mean buses cover part of the route. Metro Transit buses offer another way in. Drivers can use the Ramp A, Ramp B, Ramp C and Hawthorne ramps, about seven thousand spaces in total, with Ramp A and Ramp B linked to the ballpark by an indoor skyway. Rideshare pickup and dropoff is on Twins Way between 7th and 10th Streets.
