Following the tour we will head to a near by location for happy hour for networking. 

  Target Field Station Details:
  The Great Lawn, a 7,200 sq. ft. green stage providing opportunities for large pre-games events, community concerts, seasonal events, ideal spot to meet for lunch or relax with a book, as well as a space for individual activities.

  - 286 underground parking garage and connects to several bus lines, bike trails, and the NiceRide bike share system.

  - Custom bicycle racks double as transit-themed art around the station

  - An amphitheater space for up to 1,000 people that used Mesabi granite for a trio of murals that provides a world-class backdrop for the amphitheater
  
  - Located on top the station’s elevator core, a beautiful video board is easily seen from the amphitheater or the great lawn. It broadcasts Minnesota Twins game, movies, and can be used for special events

  Following the tour and brief presentation we will head over to a nearby location to grab a cold beverage and catch up with industry peers. Stay tuned for more details!
