ATTENTION TWINS FANS - there has been a change to our season tickets. MNPVA will have our tickets issued in one month blocks to us, beginning with the May 14 and May 31. No tickets are available for games prior to May 14. If interested, choose a game and an alternative (May 14-31) that you'd like to go to and email office@mnpva.org with those two dates and the email you'd like the tickets to go to. We will notify you if your name was drawn. These are ELECTRONIC TICKETS. You must have a smart device to receive the tickets and gain admittance to the stadium.

Amtrak has entered into a Settlement Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve a lawsuit brought under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). The Settlement Agreement resolves alleged violations of the ADA. 

If you were harmed by Amtrak’s lack of accessible transportation services between July 27, 2013 and December 2, 2020 you may be eligible to receive payment from a compensation fund established by Amtrak. 

Amtrak was suppose to be in compliance with the ADA in 2010, 20 years after passage of the law. However many architectural barriers still remain. This includes: physical access to stations, parking, a path of travel to and through out the station, restrooms, drinking fountains, audio announcements, train platforms, access boarding the train, reservation counters and websites. If you feel you were harmed by some of the barriers listed or other instance of discrimination all that is needed is your testimonial documentation of the event / your story and other identifying factors.

To be eligible for consideration for possible payment, you must submit a claim by May 29, 2021. You may obtain information on how to submit a claim in several ways: (1) by visiting www.AmtrakDisabilitySettlement.com (2) by sending an email with your name, address, and telephone number to info@AmtrakDisabilitySettlement.com, or (3) by calling the Fund Administrator at (888) 334-6165 or TTY: (866) 411-6976.
