The Minnesota Twins announced today that Kenny Chesney will return to Target Field on July 2, 2013.
Kenny Chesney is returning for another concert as his ‘No Shoes Nation’ Tour, including the Zac Brown Band comes to Target Field!
— Minnesota Twins (@Twins) November 8, 2012
In 2012, Chesney and Tim McGraw stopped at Target Field for their Brothers of the Sun Tour 2012. They played to a record crowd and got rave reviews.
Reaction was quick on Twitter, although not everyone is excited about the “No Shoes Nation Tour”:
@twinsprez country music alienates people. It’s great for intoxicated white folks, everyone else – not so much. Next time diversify a bit!

However, if last year’s quick sellout of the inaugural concert is any indication, tickets will go quickly when they go on sale on December 7, 2012. As the concert success continues, fans can hope to see other events at Target Field:
Agreed. Think ’15 Winter Classic. RT@randball: Chesney concerts at Target Field: 2. Outdoor hockey games: 0. Next goal is a big one.

Well, that is, if the NHL lockout ever ends.
Born the same year as the Dome, Paula grew up with World Series victories, Homer Hankies, & Magic Numbers. Her childhood baseball memories include pretending to be Kirby Puckett in centerfield at the Dome. Target Field is her favorite place (1st base side), and she is confident that Joe Mauer WILL hit a Target Field home run in her presence. She credits her former roommate for reigniting her obsession with the Minnesota Twins and teaching her that outdoor baseball ALWAYS beats an inflatable roof. Since she must occasionally function without baseball, Paula has learned to enjoy Jane Austen novels, cheap wine, and hosting epic events of mini proportions. You can email Paula at
