How We Checked This Page

Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.

Concession menu

Target Center's own Concessions page for the 2025-26 Timberwolves and Lynx season, which lists each stand with its section numbers and names the dishes it introduces. Levy Restaurants runs the program with Chef Fhima. targetcenter.com is unreachable from here, so this was read from the Internet Archive's capture of 2026-03-11 — mid-season for the very season the page describes, not a stale snapshot of an older menu. No prices are published.

These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
