📉 Twins Staring at Lowest Attendance in Decades as Ugly Season Winds Down
The Minnesota Twins will close out their final homestand of 2025 this weekend against the Cleveland Guardians, and unless fans suddenly pack Target Field in record numbers, the franchise is about to post its worst full-season attendance since 2000.
Through 77 home games, the Twins have drawn just over 1.68 million fans — averaging under 22,000 per game. To avoid setting a new low in the Target Field era, they’d need to sell more than 120,000 tickets across four games (30,000+ per night). That’s not happening, especially since they haven’t hit that mark since July. Earlier this month, they even set a new record for the smallest September crowd in Target Field history.
For context: the last time attendance dipped this badly was 2001 at the Metrodome. And unless something shocking happens, 2025 will finish below even that mark.
⚾ A Lost Season On and Off the Field
It’s not hard to see why fans stayed away. The Twins sit at 66–86, on track for their first 90-loss season since 2016. The front office gutted the roster at the trade deadline in a fire sale that slashed payroll, then weeks later, ownership pulled the plug on plans to sell the team.
Fans haven’t forgotten the payroll cuts that followed the 2023 postseason run, and frustration with the Pohlad family has only grown louder. Combine that anger with another losing season and rainy September weather, and Target Field has been eerily quiet down the stretch.
🚨 Bottom Line
Barring a miracle surge this weekend, the Twins will finish 2025 with their lowest attendance in nearly a quarter century. From on-field struggles to ownership missteps, the organization has only itself to blame.
