After the Tech Talent event today John Avenson, VP of Technology for the Minnesota Twins, took a small group on a short technology tour of Target Field. It was an awesome time! I loved hearing how the network works and how all the cabling is routed around.

Press box at Target Field with a long work counter facing floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the empty baseball stadium, several people in business attire standing and working along the counter. Target Field baseball stadium covered in snow, with the field tarp blanketed in white and empty seats dusted with snow under a clear blue sky. Broadcast control room at Target Field with multiple monitors, keyboards, and equipment racks labeled Rack 30 through 36, with a Minnesota Twins pennant visible. Exposed equipment racks and patch panels with dense colorful wiring mounted in open bay doors on the exterior wall of Target Field.

Upon seeing this cable tray, Amy Patton blurts out “That’s beautiful” with absolutely no irony. Only in tech… 🤩🙌 (PS: I agree!) Nice job Target Field tech team!

Overhead cable tray at Target Field filled with neatly organized yellow, teal, black, orange, red, and blue cables running along the ceiling.
