AEW is continuing its recent trend of running shows from unconventional venues, and this summer the company will officially head to a Major League Baseball stadium for a special event.
Following the buzz surrounding AEW Collision: Fairway To Hell earlier this month at the SoFi Center’s indoor golf venue in Florida, AEW has now announced “Brawl in the Ballpark,” scheduled for Friday, July 10 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The event will take place after the Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers game, marking another unique crossover presentation for the promotion.
The announcement was made during Tuesday night’s action at Target Field, where Minnesota natives Dante and Darius Martin of Top Flight appeared to hype the upcoming show. However, the segment quickly turned physical when Jeff Jarrett interrupted and blindsided the duo.
Jarrett didn’t hold back during his promo, taking shots at both the hometown crowd and the state itself.
“Every Minnesota Twin fan, as a matter of fact, the entire state of Minnesota is nothing but a bunch of pathetic losers. Friday night, July 10th, AEW is hosting Brawl in the Ballpark and I’m going to get the job done.”
So far, Jarrett and Top Flight are the only names publicly connected to the event, though more talent announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
One of the biggest questions surrounding the show is how AEW plans to use the baseball stadium layout. At Fairway To Hell, wrestlers incorporated golf course features like sand traps and putting greens into the action, helping the special stand out visually from standard arena broadcasts.
With Target Field now serving as the backdrop, fans are already speculating about possible entrances, stadium brawls, and creative use of the baseball diamond itself.
AEW has also released several VIP ticket options for the event, including:
- Theme Night Package
- VIP Ringside Package
- Truly on Deck Package
Each package includes admission to the show and a complimentary Lucha Mask Hat. Fans who purchase the VIP Ringside package will receive reserved ringside seating, while the Truly on Deck experience offers elevated views overlooking the stadium setup.
As AEW continues experimenting with themed presentation concepts and non-traditional venues, “Brawl in the Ballpark” could end up being one of the company’s more visually distinctive events of the year.
