Jeffery Volk, Director, Alpha Video Sports & Entertainment Group, says, "The new Target Field is an amazing facility that will be highlighted by the high definition production technology that we are integrating.  We are very excited to be working with the Minnesota Twins on such an exciting project that promises to keep Target Field on the forefront of production technology for seasons to come."

Andy Price, Senior Director, Broadcast/Game Presentation, Minnesota Twins, says, "It has been an outstanding partnership with Alpha Video on this historic installation.  At every point of the project, the Twins have felt like Alpha has taken great ownership in this highly visible piece of Target Field.  Their hometown help has made this endeavor a great success."

The stadium, which offers the State of Minnesota the first outdoor professional baseball experience in nearly 30 years, will be completed in time for the 2010 season, beginning in April.  It features a vast array of design elements that incorporate Twins history and building materials native to Minnesota.  The stadium is being constructed by another one of Alpha Video's exceptional clients, Mortenson Construction, which is one of the nation's largest builders.
