Tuesday the Twins rolled out some of the newest food options for the 2022 season with the regular season scheduled to begin this week.
The Twins, along with foodservice and retail partner Delaware North, are bringing a variety of new specialty items to Target Field, each with a connection to the Twin Cities according to the team. These new items are in addition to the existing concessions available at games.
“We’ve expanded our concessions offerings to include several new items from both longtime local partners and others who are new to the ballpark,” said Pete Spike, Delaware North’s onsite general manager. “We are looking to give fans a true taste of the Minneapolis-St. Paul region and be certain we have something for everyone.”
Here are some of the newest items available in 2022 and where you can find them.

The Market
The next evolution of the Target Field food and beverage experience, “The Market” inside Gate 6 down the leftfield line is an open-air, walk-through environment delivering both fresh hot food and pre-packaged grab-and-go items not available elsewhere in the ballpark, and – in a first for local sports venues – a walk-in cooler featuring an extensive variety of canned craft beers. Guests can enjoy this customizable, interactive shopping experience at their own pace, before quickly and efficiently purchasing their items through self-checkout stations.
Additionally, the Twins and Delaware North will once again provide a pair of concessions stands offering family-friendly prices for the 2022 season. Located in Sections 133 and 327, these stands offer ballpark favorites such as hot dogs, soft pretzels, popcorn, peanuts, fountain soda and canned beer, all for under $5 apiece.
