Love baseball? Did you know the Minneapolis Target Field earned LEED Gold recertification this year?
Some of the venue’s most brilliant features are the Pentair Rain Water Recycle System, which has reclaimed more than 19 million gallons of water so far. The venue’s 2,280-square-foot Living Wall grows thousands of junipers, all irrigated with rain water.
Target Field has recycled well over 10 thousand tons of waste, and made compostable straws and utensils standard.
And St Paul’s own CHS Field has a solar power array, made possible by a grant from Xcel Energy
