The naming rights to the Minnesota Twins' new outdoor stadium were purchased by Minneapolis-based Target Corporation, thus giving the ballpark the name Target Field.
Target Field replaces the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Prior to the Metrodome, the Twins played at Metropolitan Stadium. It was built in time for Opening Day of 2010.
The first regular-season game in Target Field took place on April 12, 2010, a 5 - 2 Twins win over the Boston Red Sox. This official opener had been preceded by a college baseball game at the end of March, and a pair of exhibition games with the St. Louis Cardinals a week earlier.
FIRST GAME: April 12, 2010, Twins 5, Boston Red Sox 2
