Heading to the Twins-White Sox game this Sunday. Already have tickets but I heard it's pretty easy to move around to any location. Is that true? Any other tips and recommendations (parking, food, etc.)
 
Food are expensive. Some of them are overrated. The stadium is nice, but to see different exhibits/memorabilia, you have to be in the suite level/legends club level.

Closest parking is in Garage A, close to Target Center. You just need to cross the street. But the event parking is usually expensive (11-14 bucks IIRC). If you're willing to park further, you might get a cheaper parking fee.
 
Take the train in. It's a blast. If you head early, you can stop at some bars along the way.


We liked sitting on the left field line. Great view of downtown and close to the trainstop.
 
We always park at Mall of America and take the train down. Convenient, cheap, and no traffic worries.

Drink a Grain Belt Premium (if premium is in the name you know it must be good!). And a Summit. I always enjoy the Tony Oliva cuban sandwich. Had the Andrew Zimmern goat burger....pretty good but expensive. Both food stands are on the field side of the concourse separate from the usual concessions.

Sat in left field before and enjoyed it. Sat down first base line and that was good too. Not really a bad seat.
 
Get the "Hrbek" bloody mary where you get a mini hamburger along with the normal bloody mary dressings. The girlfriend got one of those this past weekend and everyone walked buy kept staring and saying they needed to get one.

More than likely the game will suck because well the Twins suck (I'm a Twins fan by the way). Take the time to explore the stadium. Check out the bar on the second floor in left field. Grab a drink and check out the game from many of the balconies scattered throughout the stadium. Check out the MLB store near the main entrance. Even though the team is terrible, going to the games is still an enjoyment for me.
 
Best transportation is taking the bus from Gabe's. For $5 you get a drink and a ride to and from the game. Bus parks a 1/2 block from the left field gate. Leaves Gabe's 1 hour before the game and leaves the game 20 min after it's over.

If you take the train like the others suggested just keep in mind how many others will want to be on that same train once the game is over.
