Security
The Minneapolis DFL and the Target Center are well aware of the need for heightened security in the wake of last month’s violence, while at the same time aiming to provide a convenient convention experience. The Center has security checkpoints at its Skyway-level entrance, and all bags and containers will be screened.
The Target Center does place restrictions on what can be brought into the arena. More details will be posted online here as they become available, but your entry into the convention will be quicker if you pack light.
Food & dietary accommodations
The Target Center will open some of its union-staffed stadium concessions areas for the convention. We are working with the vendor on accommodations for the dietary restrictions which delegates and alternates make known to us. Please use the Accommodations Request form to make your personal dietary needs known to us. We will communicate these requirements to the vendor, although we cannot guarantee availability for particular items, and certain items may require advance ordering from off-site commissaries.
Mobility & other accommodations
The Target Center is a wheelchair-accessible site. Please use the Accommodations Request form to let us know about your individual mobility needs.
