The Greenest Ballpark
The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded Target Field LEED® Silver Certification for its sustainable features and construction practices. Collecting the most certification points ever awarded to a ballpark, Target Field can be called the greenest ballpark in America.
“Gaining LEED certification has been a longstanding goal for the Twins, Hennepin County and the Minnesota Ballpark Authority as we have collectively shared the responsibility to ensure strong environmental stewardship," Twins Owner and CEO Jim Pohlad said. "It’s our sincere hope that the sustainability aspects of Target Field will provide inspiration to other local, regional and national projects of this magnitude.”
"We are absolutely thrilled about the LEED Silver certification for the ballpark," said Steve Cramer, Chair of the Minnesota Ballpark Authority. "The Authority is pleased that our investment will pay dividends for years to come as fans learn more about the importance of sustainable design when they visit Target Field."
