Route information
Drive in and park in a skyway rampBloomington, near MSP airportdrive

Drive downtown and park in Ramp A, B or C, which the Timberwolves call the premier parking for fans because the skyway connects them to the arena. Ramp B is the closest. Target Center recommends booking ahead through SpotHero.
Getting back
Walk back to your ramp through the skyway and drive back. The Timberwolves call Ramp C the fastest exit.

Neither the team nor the arena publishes game-night ramp prices; Target Center’s parking page says SpotHero rates run up to 50% off drive-up. Target Center also lists bridge and ramp repair on I-94 and I-394 between downtown and Highway 100, so check your route before you leave.
