FOX Sports North recently toured the new Twins ball park and with approximately 457 days until the ballpark opens, things are looking good. The new ball park, Target Field, will bring outdoor baseball back to Minnesota. With many plans in the works, FOX Sports North got to see first hand many of the production aspects of the new vicinity.“The Minnesota Twins have gone to great lengths to design a TV friendly stadium,” said Bob Rohde, Director of Operations. "Twins baseball will help insure state-of-the-art coverage with their announce booth locations and sizes, pre and post game locations, camera positions, and the associated cable and fiber optic infrastructure."
The new stadium also provides close proximity between the production trucks and the production-able interconnect room for efficient hookup. Extra wide hallways will
help ensure crews can move equipment efficiently from the production truck to their final location. Additional elevators will also allow quicker access to all levels of the new stadium.The new Twins ball park will open in 2010, and FOX Sports North is feeling the anticipation. “The Minnesota Twins have been so great and accommodating by including us (FOX Sports North) in every step of the process. We can’t wait to start broadcasting outdoor baseball,” said Matt Gangl, Director.
