What to know
Twin Cities Takedown is April 23 to 25, 2027, Friday to Sunday, at Maple Grove Junior High, 7000 Hemlock Ln N in Maple Grove, MN 55369. Boys 10U-17U pay $650 per team and are guaranteed 4 games. The host page also lists Hopkins HS - Royals Athletic Center, 2400 Lindbergh Dr in Minnetonka; only Maple Grove has a venue page here.
The page says teams are "required to book lodging through Prep Network’s SaveAndPlay platform." Only teams coming from more than 90 miles carry the 8-room minimum, and it covers every event date.
Booking on a third-party site, directly with a hotel or with points does not count. Prep Network reviews an opt-out form and approves or denies it; the policy lists no fee for the form. A denial means SaveAndPlay, which adds a $10-per-night booking fee.
Our list has 12 hotels near Maple Grove Junior High, and Asteria Inn is closest at 1 minute by car. A team holding the 8-room minimum for both nights needs 16 room-nights, our calculation.
