Autograph Station RULES PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. All proceeds from the autograph stations benefit the Twins Community Fund and its programs. Thank you for your support. Please do not cut in lines. One autograph per player. No personalized autographs. No photos. A limited number of wristbands are available for each session Select players may restrict the types of items they choose to sign. All appearances subject to change. Traditional Autograph Sessions Except for those designated as random draw sessions, all autograph stations are subject to these guidelines: Autographs are available on a first come first served basis. Standing in line doesn t guarantee you an autograph. We will do our best to cut the line at the point beyond which we estimate the player will not be able to sign. If a player s time expires before you re able to get his autograph, you may stay in line and wait for the next player(s). That player will begin signing at the point where the previous player(s) ended. Random Draw Autograph Sessions To provide an equal opportunity for fans to secure an autograph at the highest demand stations, select TwinsFest autograph lines (designated by blue wristband symbol on the schedule) will operate under a random draw system. All fans must participate in this process for the chance to secure an autograph at these designated sessions; no exceptions. How the Random Draw Works Fans wishing to participate in a Random Draw Autograph Session must have a wristband designated for that specific autograph session. For each player s autograph session, wristbands will be distributed in a variety of colors. Twenty minutes before the start of the autograph session, a wristband color will be randomly selected. Only those with the selected wristband color will be permitted in the autograph line for that player s session. (Young children or fans requiring special assistance may be escorted by a parent/ guardian; however, only those with a matching color wristband are eligible to receive an autograph.) Possessing a matching color wristband and standing in line does NOT guarantee an autograph. The player(s) will sign autographs for as many people with the selected color wristband as time permits. The Twins will make every effort to distribute an appropriate number of each wristband to allow a reasonable chance for each fan with a matching wristband to receive an autograph within the posted session time. Acquiring A Wristband You must secure a separate wristband for each random draw autograph session in which you wish to participate. Wristbands are available on the upper concourse at Gate G beginning 90 minutes before gates open each day. Wristbands are limited to one per person per session. See schedule below: Autograph Wristband Announcement Date Session Time Pick Up Starts* Time** Friday 1/25 5:45 pm 7:00 pm 2:30 pm 5:25 pm Friday 1/25 7:00 pm 8:15 pm 2:30 pm 6:40 pm Saturday 1/26 11:00 am 12:30 pm 7:30 am 10:40 am Saturday 1/26 12:45 pm 2:15 pm 7:30 am 11:25 am Sunday 1/27 9:15 am 10:45 am 7:30 am 8:55 am Sunday 1/27 11:00 am 12:30 pm 7:30 am 10:40 am *Wristbands will be available for each session until all are distributed or the autograph session ends. **Wristband drawings will be announced via instadium PA, video boards, LED ribbon boards and concourse monitors. You may also check with staff at the specific autograph station or the Information Booth on the field. It is the fan s responsibility to be aware of the style of wristband selected for an autograph session. BEFORE gates open: Please enter Gate G from outside the Metrodome. Once you receive your wristband, you ll need to exit and re-enter the Metrodome through gate F or H when gates open. AFTER gates open: From inside the Metrodome, take the stairs near section 129 or 136 to the upper concourse by section 229. An elevator is available by section 115. Once gates open, fans will not be able to enter Gate G from outside the Metrodome. DO NOT LOSE OR DAMAGE YOUR WRISTBAND! If your wristband is tampered with/lost or stolen there are NO REPLACEMENTS.
