In 2010, major league baseball in Minnesota heads outdoors for the first time in nearly two decades—and at one of the finest baseball facilities anywhere. Target Field explores the Minnesota Twins’ long journey to getting a new ballpark and celebrates the groundbreaking achievements of its design and construction. With first-hand insight from the designers, engineers, workers, and team executives who made it all happen, the book gives an insider’s tour of the features and amenities that fans will enjoy for generations. Target Field brings to life the smells of real grass and mustard-slathered hot dogs, the sounds of the ball hitting the bat and the roar of the crowd, and the sights of a glorious new home for the Minnesota Twins.

Probably the best book about a stadium I've ever seen. Very in-depth, with pictures, descriptions of why it was designed like it was, different ideas...Really a tremendous product.

This book was very nice, but there was a medium amount of damage to the front book jacket which I was not really happy about since this was for a gift and looked used even though it was stated to be new.

Just wanted to say that you can get this book cheaper at Barnes & Noble online. It's not free shipping, but it'll ship within 24 hours. I was going to order through Amazon, but it said that the book would take 1-4 months!!!! WHAT!?! I'm trying to get this as a Christmas present so I just can't wait that long.
The book looks amazing though.
