Travel

Minneapolis/St Paul has Metro Transit, which provides two light rail lines and buses that go just about everywhere in the Twin Cities. The light rail provides service to the Mall of America, MSP International Airport, downtown Minneapolis, the East Bank of the University (where the venue and hotel are located), and downtown St Paul.

To ride the light rail, pay for a ticket at a ticket machine before boarding. The ticket allows unlimited rides for 2½ hours on both light rail and buses. 24 hour passes are also available.

From the airport, take the Blue Line north toward downtown Minneapolis. At US Bank Stadium Station, get off the Blue Line, go across to the other platform, and take the Green Line east toward St Paul. Get off at East Bank Station and continue east on Washington Avenue to reach the hotel.
