Minnesota and Houston battled in an MLB playoff game on Wednesday looking for a chance to book a ticket to the ALCS. Onlookers outside of Target Field caught an awesome view of the pregame festivities.
A construction crew working just outside the Twins’ stadium caught an eye-level view of a flyover. Video of the incredible scene has quickly gone viral on social media.

Chills.
You can see the jets fly over just as the singer on the field hits the high note in the Star-Spangled Banner.
Here’s more on that pregame intro from BringMeTheNews.com.
A construction worker’s video is going viral after capturing the Minnesota National Guard’s 148th Fighter Wing jets flying over Target Field on Tuesday.
The two F-16 Fighting Falcon jets flew over prior to the start of Game 3 of the Twins v. Houston Astros game in the American League Divisional Series.
The construction crew was apparently working on a new 350-unit apartment complex that will overlook the stadium. Followers were quick to comment on the incredible view.
“Imagine that’s going to be your apartment view,” one follower wrote.
“No way I could get any work done with the game going on below,” someone else said.
“Flyovers always give me chills and this was the best POV!” this viewer commented.
“And you got paid for that?” this surprised fan asked. “Man, you’re living your best life.”
While Twins fans certainly enjoyed the flyover, the game wouldn’t go their way. Minnesota fell to the Astros, 9-1 in Game 3 to fall behind in the series 2-1.
The Astros hit four home runs, jumping out to a 6-0 lead over the first six frames. Starting pitcher Christain Javier threw five scoreless innings while striking out nine Minnesota batters to land the win.
The Twins would later fall in Game 4 to be eliminated from the postseason.
