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.
- Parking guidance
Official Target Center parking page, read 2026-08-14: the size of the downtown supply, the skyway-level accessible route through Ramps A and B, the ADA drop-off corner, and bus parking with its standard and overnight fees and reservation line. Individual ramp names and rates, hours, placard requirements, RV rules and closures are not published.
- Venue policies
Current Target Center and Minnesota Timberwolves policy, accessibility, ticketing, parking, and concessions guidance reviewed for Timberwolves policies.
Not yet checked against a published source
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.
- Parking prices — Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none — the only figures are for buses: $30, or $40 overnight. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "Target Center 2026: $10-$25 by proximity and event; Ramps A and B begin at $10").
