I think most of us have come to terms with that. But "just a light rail station" with a huge awning should at least block the rain.This is just a light-rail station masqueraded as something necessary for a future train (Amtrak/Commuter/HSR) station; it's actually an $80 million capacity project for Twins games.
I agree. From a riders standpoint and as a tax payer, I would've rather spent the money on proper shelter from the rain than on fancy lightingI think most of us have come to terms with that.

Keep an eye on those webcams!March 10, 2014 Beginning today there will be Light Rail Vehicles traveling through the pedestrian crossing at Target Field Station onto the Interchange tracks for integrated testing procedures until the system goes live. Pedestrians should be cautious when crossing the tracks at Target Field as there will be operating LRT trains crossing this area occasionally. Flaggers from Metro Transit and Knutson will be present at this location to assist with safety measures.
"We're looking at any and all opportunities to activate this and make it a destination all by itself," said Ed Hunter, Hennepin County Project Manager for Target Field Station.
A giant eight-panel video board was installed on top of the elevator core on Saturday. Hunter said the Twins will use it as people come to baseball games at Target Field.
But when there isn't a game, "You could have movie nights at Target Field Station, street fair, art fairs, taste of Minneapolis," he said.
