Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) pave the way for the safe
return of our fans to Target Field for the upcoming 2021 season,
beginning with our April 8 home opener.
"Our singular focus remains on the health, safety and well-being
of every person that enters Target Field; to that end, we are
currently reviewing the new guidance to ensure our comprehensive
re-opening plan adheres to all MDH and Minneapolis Health
Department directives. We will announce next steps, including
our full ballpark protocols and ticket plans, in the very near
future."

and his staff, the Minnesota Department of Health as well as the
other professional sports teams in town to make sure the
protocols we have in place will allow our passionate fans the
ability to watch Wild games in a safe and enjoyable manner. We
have truly missed the energy and excitement our fans bring to
Xcel Energy Center."
