U.S. Bank and the Minnesota Twins Present the Digital Clubhouse at Target Field April 7, 2014 MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 7, 2014-- Just like celebrities on the red carpet or backstage at a big event, Twins fans attending a game this season will be able to pose for “a selfie” at the Selfie Mirror at the new Twins Digital Clubhouse sponsored by U.S. Bank. Located in left field near the U.S. Bank Home Run Porch, the Digital Clubhouse will feature several stations like the Selfie Mirror where fans can create digital souvenirs, interact with other fans on social media and charge their phones. The Clubhouse is designed around an old dugout bench used by the Twins at the Metrodome. “The Twins organization is committed to providing fans with the best ballpark experience in baseball,” said Phillip Trier, Twin Cities market president for U.S. Bank. “The Digital Clubhouse gives fans a chance to document their day at the game and share their experience with friends and family in a whole new way. As an industry leader in mobile banking and a founding partner of Target Field, working with the Twins to bring the Digital Clubhouse to life A rendering of the new Twins Digital Clubhouse presented by U.S. Bank.
