Star Tribune features writers and editors assembled an easy-to-use map for fans going to games. You can find it here.
You'll find lots of choices for places to go before and after games - all within six blocks of the ballpark. There's also a link to family-friendly options, recommended by food critic Rick Nelson. It's good information for all ages.
Nightlife writer Tom Horgen includes drinking and nightlife options, too.
If you're eating inside the park, here is Rick's story on the ballpark options.
His number one pick is Kramarczuk's grilled, made-fresh-daily pork sausages. He also suggests the wild rice soup from Lunds-and-Byerlys and Angie's Kettle Korn.
What to avoid: Empanadas (scary!), Soft-serve ice cream (dreadful, overpriced), Chocolate-chip cookies in a cup (from New Jersey!).
Vita.mn suggests these places to hang out before and after the game.
Have fun!
