Full detailAbout Target Center
Target Center in downtown Minneapolis is home to the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx. It seats 18,798 for basketball and up to 20,500 for concerts, depending on stage and curtain set-up. The Target Center seating chart has two main bowls: the 100 Level (sections 101 to 138) close to the court, and the 200 Level (201 to 240) above the suite level. The best seats are the lower sidelines, 109 to 113 and 129 to 133, with the benches on the 129 to 133 side. The front rows of the 200 Level sidelines (209 to 213 and 229 to 233) are the best value. For end stage concerts the stage usually goes at the 121 end, so the best concert seating views are from the floor and from sections facing the stage around 101.
Target Center opened in October 1990 and is an octagonal arena with three levels of seating. It became the first arena with a green roof in 2009, and a $145 million renovation completed in 2017 updated the exterior, seating, technology and premium spaces on every level. It is the NBA's second-oldest arena after Madison Square Garden.

What are the seating levels at Target Center?
100 Level sidelines109-113, 129-133
The lower bowl along both sidelines, with courtside seats in front. The benches are on the 129 to 133 side, and centre court is at 111 and 131.
Pros: The closest raised seats to the court with a balanced view of both baskets.
Cons: The most expensive regular seats; the front rows behind the benches look through players and staff.
100 Level corners and ends101-108, 114-128, 134-138
Lower bowl seats round the corners and behind each basket, with 101 and 121 dead centre behind the baskets.
Pros: Lower bowl atmosphere for less; the corners give a good diagonal view. For end stage concerts, the sections round 101 face the stage.
Cons: Directly behind the basket (101 and 121) the backboard and stanchion get in the way of the near hoop.
200 Level sidelines209-213, 229-233
The centre sections of the upper bowl, with 211 and 231 at centre court.
Pros: A full, head on view of the court at a fraction of lower bowl prices; the front rows sit only a little above the back of the 100 Level.
Cons: The back rows are a long climb and much further from the court.
200 Level corners and ends201-208, 214-228, 234-240
The rest of the upper bowl, with 201 and 221 dead centre behind the baskets.
Pros: Usually the cheapest tickets in the arena, with a clear view from the front rows.
Cons: The furthest seats from the court; for end stage concerts the sections round 221 are behind or beside the stage.
Target Center view from your seat
100 Level sideline, bench side
129 to 133 (centre court at 131)Low, close sideline seats behind the team benches, with the Timberwolves in front of 132 and 133 and the visitors in front of 129 and 130. You feel part of every timeout, though the front rows look through the benches.
Tip: Sit a few rows up to see over the players standing at the bench.
100 Level sideline, opposite the benches
109 to 113 (centre court at 111)The mirror of the bench side, looking across the court at both benches with nobody standing in front of you. Most rows in these sections have only about 14 seats, so the section is compact.
Tip: The entrance to these sections is part way up, so mid-level rows are quickest for food and restroom trips.
100 Level corners
104 to 108, 114 to 118, 124 to 128 and 134 to 138A diagonal view of the court from the lower bowl, good for watching plays develop in the near half, with the far basket at a distance.
Tip: Corners next to the sidelines (108, 114, 128 and 134) keep the angle shallow.
100 Level ends
101 and 121 (directly behind the baskets) and the sections either sideBehind the baskets, looking straight down the court. Near-basket play is partly hidden by the backboard from the lowest rows, and the far end is a long way off.
Tip: For end stage concerts at the 121 end, the sections round 101 face the stage head on.
200 Level sidelines
209 to 213 and 229 to 233A raised, head on view of the whole court. The front rows here sit only about 10 feet above the back row of the 100 Level below, so they feel much closer than a typical upper tier.
Tip: The front rows of these sections are the best value seats in the arena.
200 Level corners and ends
201 to 208, 214 to 228 and 234 to 240The highest seats, round the corners and behind the baskets. The upper bowl ends are not pushed far back from the court, so the lower rows still give a decent view.
Tip: Stick to the lower rows and avoid 201 and 221 directly behind the baskets.
How do Target Center seat numbers work?
Your ticket shows a section, row and seat, and the first digit of the section is the level: 101 to 138 are the 100 Level and 201 to 240 are the 200 Level. Numbers run round the bowl from 101 behind one basket, along one sideline (centre court at 111), round the far end (121 behind the other basket) and back along the bench side (centre court at 131). The 200 Level follows the same pattern, with 201 and 221 behind the baskets and 211 and 231 at centre court, so the 200 Level section above a 100 Level section usually shares its last two digits. In the 100 Level sideline sections, the courtside rows are numbered 1 to 4 and the rows behind are lettered from A; the end sections start at a later letter. The 200 Level rows are lettered from A.
Reading a ticket: Section 231, Row B: 200 Level at centre court on the bench side, the second row of the upper bowl, directly above 100 Level section 131, so you get a head on view down onto both benches.
Target Center floor plan for concerts
Concert layouts vary by tour, so always check the seat map for your show. For end stage concerts the stage usually goes at the 121 end, with the floor in front and the 100 and 200 Levels facing it from the sides and the far end. Target Center says the full arena holds up to 20,500 depending on stage and curtain set-up.
The floor: The arena floor is sold as general admission standing or as reserved floor sections, depending on the show.
The stage: Usually at the 121 end of the arena.
Sections round 101 and 201 face an end stage head on; the sideline sections see it side on, with the angle sharpening towards the stage. Curtains close off the seats behind the stage for most end stage shows.
