Why Minnesota Twins fans might owe Bud Selig thanks for Target Field
Minnesota Twins fans might owe former Milwaukee Brewers owner Bud Selig thanks. With the Brewers in the 2026 World Series, we revisit the Target Field debate. Bud Selig, the lead owner of the Brewers, may have influenced Minnesota sports fans to approve a better stadium deal for Twins owner Carl Pohlad. The state Legislature approved a $522 million Twins stadium in 2006 and a $248 million on-campus football stadium for the Gophers in St. Paul in 2004. Selig's involvement in this deal led to the creation of Target Field and the development of Allianz Field in St., a stadium for Major League Soccer. The author suggests that while many Twins fans believe that "contraction" in 2001 was an attempt by the then-commissioner to eliminate MLB of Minnesota, it may have led to better stadium deals for the Twins.
