Yes. Oakland’s on 9th is at 215 South 9th Street in downtown Minneapolis, and Target Center is a short trip from the front door, so a Timberwolves night does not need a parking plan. Here is what the schedule looks like over the next two months, and how to keep it easy on a cold night.
Which Timberwolves Home Games Are Coming Up?
A few dates are worth circling, based on early-season schedule reports from Fox 9, KSTP and a schedule roundup on KDH News:
- Nov. 8–23: a franchise-record eight straight home games, according to Fox 9 and KSTP. KSTP lists Utah, Dallas, Chicago, Portland, the Knicks, Memphis and Brooklyn among the opponents.
- Thursday, Nov. 19: the New York Knicks, reported by both Fox 9 and KDH as a home game, with Karl-Anthony Towns back in town.
- Monday, Nov. 23: the Brooklyn Nets, with Julius Randle returning, per KDH.
- Friday, Dec. 25: the Oklahoma City Thunder on Christmas Day. Fox 9 reports a 7 p.m. tipoff on ABC.
One caution: the reports do not agree on every detail (one calls Christmas Day the Wolves’ first-ever home game on the holiday, another counts it as their fifth Christmas game), and none of them lists tipoff times for the November games. Confirm dates and times on the official Timberwolves schedule before you book anything.
How Do You Get From Oakland’s on 9th to Target Center?
Oakland’s on 9th is not skyway-connected. You walk about a block to reach the skyway, which is one more reason to dress for the weather in late November. Our guide to how the Minneapolis skyway works covers hours and event-night routes, and our no-car guide covers the rest of getting around. If you would rather ride, plan the trip with Metro Transit’s trip planner. Check event details and arena entry guidance on the Target Center events page.
Why Stay Downtown for a Wolves Homestand?
If you are in town for a week or more, a furnished studio makes more sense than a hotel room. Every studio has a full kitchen, and WiFi, utilities, heat and laundry are included. There are no contracts, so you can book a night, a week or a month, and some units are pet friendly. A run of eight games in sixteen days is exactly the sort of trip a fan from out of state can build a week around.
