FOOTBALL PRESS BOX

The football press box is located directly above the 50-yard line at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome and has excellent views of the entire field. It features “press rows” of seating facing the field. End your Metrodome tour or meeting with a meal in the football press box.  Showcase your presentation on the Metrodome’s massive big screen video boards while seated in the press box.

BASEBALL PRESS BOX

OUTDOOR PICNIC AREA

Fresh grilled brats and burgers on a warm afternoon….you can’t beat it!  Host a pre-game party for a Twins or Golden Gopher football/baseball game in this space, park in the big lot and make your way over to the stadium.  Or, hold a meeting in the Halsey Hall Room and break for lunch outdoors.  The picnic area is located across from Gate D, and has restroom facilities on site.  A big space for big ideas.  Why not bring a band?
