It will be root, root, root for the home team on Tuesday evening as the Minnesota Timberwolves play Game 2 of their opening-round playoff series at Target Center, while the Twins take on the White Sox across the street at Target Field.
With the games starting just 10 minutes apart — Wolves at 6:30 p.m. and Twins at 6:40 p.m. — thousands of fans will be streaming into Minneapolis just as the evening rush hour begins to wind down. That means lots of extra traffic and pedestrians on downtown streets, and the scramble to get prized parking spots.
