With Target Field across the street, Xcel Energy Center across the river, and a new Vikings stadium in the works, Target Center has to feel like the red-headed step child in the market.
↵No more, as they have unveiled a $155 million plan to renovate and renew the building.
↵To ensure the public knows everything about the project, including how it is funded and what it will look like, there is a new website set up to bring that information to you. Visit TargetCenterRenovation.org for artist renderings, blue prints, and just about every other detail you could possibly want.
↵Wondering why they are doing this? The website addresses that right away:
↵↵↵Target Center hosts nearly 200 events per year and is the 28th busiest building in the nation. It has been a tremendous economic boon for Minnesota for two decades, but it's no longer competitive in the marketplace. Fortunately, we can restore its competitiveness for one-third the cost of a replacement facility.

A third of the cost? I'm in.
