Yes. While it is a sports bar by trade, the venue offers full buyouts for couples wanting an unconventional, "stadium-vibe" wedding. Capacity: Up to 450 seated for a formal meal or up to 900+ guests for a flow-style reception. Vibe: Perfect for sports-loving couples who want a high-tech, high-energy party rather than a traditional ballroom setting.
This is their specialty. Its proximity to downtown hotels and the Skyway makes it a logistical win for out-of-town guests. Private Spaces: You can reserve the "Dugout" (Private Dining Room) for smaller groups or section off the "Field" zones for semi-private gatherings. Entertainment: The Topgolf Swing Suites are frequently rented for rehearsal dinners to give guests an activity beyond just dining.
Event packages are typically tiered (often referred to as Silver, Gold, and Platinum) and generally include: Menu: A pre-selected two-course or buffet-style menu (e.g., Prime Rib Dip, Ahi Tuna Poke, or plated entrées like Braised Short Rib). Bar: Options for hosted bars ranging from "House" to "Superior" selections. AV Support: Use of the 118+ screens for custom slideshows, seating charts, or "Live Cam" feeds of the dance floor.
Absolutely. One of the biggest perks of this venue is the ability to customize the massive screen "wallpaper." Couples often use the screens to display engagement photos, custom logos, or even "watch" the game if their wedding falls on a big MN sports day.
