CHS Field

CHS Field anchors the Lowertown district at the east end of downtown St. Paul — the historic warehouse-and-loft neighborhood that was the original commercial district of St. Paul along the Mississippi River. The blocks immediately around the ballpark are restored historic warehouses adapted as restaurants, lofts, art studios, and the Union Depot (the historic St. Paul Union Depot, now a multi-modal transit hub). Mears Park, directly across from the ballpark, is the canonical Lowertown public-square anchor. Downtown St. Paul's restaurant cluster and the Xcel Energy Center (home of the Minnesota Wild) sit a short walk west. Downtown Minneapolis sits about 15-20 minutes west on the Green Line light rail. The Mississippi River and Harriet Island (the riverfront park used for the Twin Cities Marathon finish) sit a short walk south. The neighborhood reads as a successful historic-warehouse-district adaptive-reuse around a new downtown ballpark — frequently cited as one of the most architecturally distinctive new MiLB venues of the past decade.

Plan to arrive about 45-60 minutes before first pitch — Lowertown parking is gentle on most weeknights and busier on fireworks Fridays. CHS Field opened in 2015 as the new downtown St. Paul home of the St. Paul Saints, replacing Midway Stadium (the older suburban St. Paul ballpark the Saints had used since 1982). For most of the Saints' run, the franchise played in the independent American Association — making it one of the most successful and longest-running independent professional baseball franchises in the modern era. The Saints became an affiliated MLB Triple-A club in 2021 when the Minnesota Twins moved their Triple-A affiliate from Rochester (Red Wings) to St. Paul under MLB's MiLB reorganization. Verify the current MLB parent affiliation on the Saints' team site as affiliations are subject to change. Note: GameAway's source venues data tags CHS Field with North Charleston SC, which is a data error — CHS Field is the St. Paul Saints' Minnesota ballpark. Mobile-only tickets are the norm. Bag policy and gate-open times shift season to season; confirm on the Saints' site before going.

CHS Field opened in May 2015 as the new downtown St. Paul home of the St. Paul Saints, replacing the older suburban Midway Stadium. The CHS in the name refers to CHS Inc., the Minnesota-headquartered agricultural cooperative that holds naming rights. Capacity sits around 7,210. The St. Paul Saints have been one of the most successful and longest-running independent professional baseball franchises in the modern era — the franchise played in the independent American Association from its 1993 revival through 2020 and became an affiliated Triple-A club in 2021 when the Minnesota Twins relocated their Triple-A affiliate from Rochester (Red Wings) to St. Paul under MLB's MiLB reorganization. Mike Veeck (son of legendary Bill Veeck) and Bill Murray have been longtime Saints minority owners associated with the franchise's irreverent promotional style. Note: GameAway's source venues data lists CHS Field with North Charleston, SC tagging, which is a data inconsistency — there is no major CHS Field in North Charleston SC; the canonical CHS Field is the St. Paul Saints' downtown St. Paul ballpark in Minnesota and that is the venue described here. Verify the current MLB parent affiliation on the team site as Triple-A affiliations can shift.
