Let Northstar Link and Northstar Commuter Rail take you out to the ball game.
Every Twins home game this season will have bus and rail service. Baseball fans will be able to take the Northstar Link bus from St. Cloud or Becker to Big Lake to catch the Northstar train, which takes them directly to Target Field in Minneapolis. At the scheduled departure time, or 30 minutes after the last out for special service trains, fans will be able to board the train to Big Lake and easily transfer to the Northstar Link bus to finish the trip back to Becker or St. Cloud.
The Link ride costs $1.75 or less each way. The train ride prices vary by station. New this year, is the ability to buy round-trip tickets and Northstar Roundtrip Family Passes for home Twins games online at www.metrotransit.org/Northstar.
“The trip is even easier now with online train tickets for Twins games,” said Stearns County Commissioner Leigh Lenzmeier, chair of the Northstar Corridor Development Authority. “Print your round trip or family pass at home and be sure to keep it with you. You’ll be asked to show your ticket at Target Field.”
