Target Center

Key Wolves Rockets Matchups

2012-01-30T08:46:00.000-08:00

With the Houston Rockets coming to the Target Center, look for these key matchups on the court:

Point guard: Kyle Lowry vs Ricky Rubio
Advantage? Rockets

Shooting guard: Courtney Lee vs Luke Ridnour
Advantage? Rockets

Forward: Chandler Parsons vs Wesley Johnson
Advantage? Wolves

Forward: Luis Scola vs Kevin Love
Advantage? Wolves

Center: Samuel Dalembert vs Nikola Pekovic
Advantage? Rockets

Who will come out on top? It appears, according to me rough estimates, the Rockets are holding the advantage over the Wolves' starting five. However, I think with Adelman's experience with Houston, the Wolves will take the win. Wolves 99-94.

NBA Lockout 2011 News Update: LOCKOUT IS OVER! NBA 2011 season to take place!

2011-12-02T11:38:00.000-08:00

The 2011 NBA Lockout is OVER! It took 149 days of being locked out from playing games, or even entering a training facility, but the NBA Lockout is now over.

What is the new deal that the NBA players and owners agreed to? The deal is for 10 years, although both sides have the option of opting out after six years. The players will make no higher than 51 percent of the revenue, which is down from 57 percent. This difference would account for nearly $3 billion over the length of the deal.

This new deal still is pending final approval of the new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), but a truncated 66-game NBA regular season should be starting on Christmas Day. On Christmas, five NBA games will be played, and televised on TNT, ABC, ESPN, and two others to be announced later.

The 2012 NBA season will extend games to April 26th, 2012, and the NBA Playoffs will begin two days after that. There is a possibility of back-to-back games during the second round of the NBA Playoffs, with each team having at least one, but no more than three back-to-back-to-back games during the regular season.

All NBA teams will play 48 conference games and 18 nonconference games. Teams will not travel to every NBA arena.

December 9th marks the day free agents will be able to begin signing contracts.

Interesting NBA Lockout money fact:

Financial analysts predicted that the shoe industry would lose $500 million if the NBA Lockout had continued and cancelled the entire season! Wow! How many shoes do these guys go through!? That is a crazy amount of shoes!

Ouch, some of the pains of the Lockout are that some players went to play overseas in China, and the Chinese Basketball Association is not showing any inclination to let those NBA players out of their contracts before the end of the season in March! The player that went to play in Spain, Turkey and France are able to come back to play in the NBA season.

Overall, it seems like all is in order for the NBA to start their games soon. We'll see how fans respond. Do you think people will attend games, or do you think fans will be leary at first?

NBA Lockout 2011 news update: Games canceled through December 15, 2012

2011-11-18T13:29:00.000-08:00

The latest news on the 2011 NBA Lockout is that the NBA canceled NBA games through December 15, 2011. NBA teams were notified on Tuesday of this new extension of the lock. The NBA lockout has not entered more than 140 days. This is on the bigger side of 26 percent of the 2011-2012 season, and there really is no end in sight.

The NBA locked-out players filed class-action antitrust lawsuits against the NBA on Tuesday in at least two states, which brings the whole issue to federal court. The players are doing so because, as their attorney, David Boies, says, "...the NBA lockout violates antitrust laws by refusing to allow players to work."

If the players win, it is said that they could win up to 3 times the amount of money the players would have made playing this season.

How do you feel about the NBA Lockout? Are you a heated fan, pissed off that you're missing the season, or could you care less that NBA basketball is currently not playing? Do you think the players are being greedy? The owners? Both?

2011 NBA Lockout news

2011-11-11T11:41:00.000-08:00

The two sides of the NBA Lockout tried negotiating for nearly 11 hours yesterday. The NBA presented a proposal to the players that needs to be agreed to by next week, and could result in a 72-game season that would begin on December 15, 2011.

NBA Commissioner David Stern said, "There is nothing left to negotiate about." Stating that they have, "done everything possible that was possible to do."

If the two sides of the argument cannot come together on a decision, it is reported that players will quickly move toward decertifying the union or issue a disclaimer of interest, either of these options would allow the players to file antitrust litigation that would more than likely jeopardize the whole 2011-2012 NBA basketball season.

So far, the NBA Lockout has lasted 134 days, as of last Friday, and has been the result of 221 preseason and regular season games being canceled.

Hopefully, the answer to peoples question, "When will the 2011 NBA season start?", or, "When will the NBA Lockout end?" will be December 15, 2011. We'll see what happens in the next week with the current proposal.

You do need to call ahead of the event to see if a parent's room will be available. There is no charge to use the room. You do need to remember that the Target Center is not responsible for minors left unattended during an event. Please use your best judgement when deciding if your child is old enough to attend an event without an adult.

What About Other Lockout Workers?

2011-10-06T11:43:00.000-07:00

Kobe Bryant may ride out the NBA lockout overseas in Italy. Others that depend on the existence of the league may not be so lucky...

If the lockout persists and more than just the preseason is cancelled, you're talking about lost jobs and collateral economic damages. The loss of games will mean loss of jobs for waitresses, bartenders, hotel workers and others who count on the NBA season for their paychecks.

Players and owners will be alright, but will everyone else?

Target Center waiting for NBA Action

2011-09-29T10:47:00.000-07:00

Will there be an NBA action in the Target Center this year?

When the NFL was in potential-lockout mode, it was all anyone could talk about. Fans were staying updated on free agents, rookies and the daily negotiations. There were news posts everyday and an endless stream of questions signaling fans couldn't get enough information.

The NBA lockout? Not so much.

What's the deal? It appears fans don't care so much about the NBA lockout and that they would rather check their football fantasy draft instead. Are people 'over' the NBA or is it just the frustration of standstill after standstill and the NBA just happens to be the most recent in a long stream? Very few people care about the lockout.

I think there exists a combination of both a lack of interest and a surplus of disgust. Owners and players need to be careful and realize with the economy and so many other options to steal away a fan's disposable income, that they don't think it will always 'just work out'.

What do you think? Give me your thoughts! I would love to hear them.

NBA Lockout and the Target Center

2011-09-22T11:52:00.000-07:00

Training camps are set to open October 2nd. The preseason game about a week after that.

The last time the NBA had a lockout was for the 1998-1999 season... back when Dr. Jack Kevorkian was found guilty of second-degree murder, Internet Explorer version 5 was released, Y2K was a huge problem and bluetooth was announced.

How did that lockout work?

The basic agreement was reached on January 6th and was finalized later that month on the 20th. At that point the lockout officially ended. Training camps opened and negotiations with free agency players began, even the pre-season games followed within the week. The 50-game regular season started on February 5.

There was 30 days between the agreement and the beginning of the regular season. This season is set to start on November 2. To keep the timeline, we would need to get everything in order by October 2.

Can it happen? What are your thoughts?

At least the Target Center will remain the Target Center as the arena and the corporate giant renewed their naming agreement; the Timberwolves will have a home to return to!

Keith Urban Long Hot Summer Tour

2011-09-15T11:35:00.000-07:00

Wowza.

KEEEEIIITHHH URRBAAANNN!

(Just imagine reading that in your best 'Oprah' voice because that is waht its meant to sound like.)

Better hurry up and get those 'Somebody Like You'-'Long Hot Summer'-'Days Go By'-'Sweet Thing' tickets soon because with soo many hot singles and steamy albums, you know those puppies will go fast.

Nicole Kidman is one lucky woman.

Minnesota Lynx Likely First Round Opponent

2011-09-07T10:54:00.000-07:00

So the Minnesota Lynx have clinched this best record in the WNBA and now are just waiting for the WNBA playoffs. The Lynx should be able to make their way out of the Western Conference fairly easily considering they cruised through the regular season. As of right now, their likely first round match up is with the San Antonio Silver Stars. The Lynx are 4-0 this season against the Silver Stars. The Silver Stars are right behind the Phoenix Mercury and hopefully Phoenix is able to hold them off because the Lynx match up much better with Phoenix. Interesting tidbit, the Lynx play the Mercury for the last game of the season, shouldn't the Lynx just let the Mercury win so that they don't have to play them in the final game? I think so.

Minnesota Lynx Magic Number Down to 1

2011-08-31T12:02:00.000-07:00

The Minnesota Lynx are one game away from clinching the best record in the WNBA. They are so good it's scary. One Lynx victory over the next four games or 1 loss by the Indiana Fever and the Minnesota Lynx will have clinched the best record in the entire WNBA. They beat Washington in the Target Center 73-56. This team is scary good and I can't wait for the playoffs. People should definitely try to get some tickets for the playoffs because who knows how far this team will go. I could definitely see them winning a WNBA championship. Can't wait for the parade!

Lynx Edge Out Victory Over Tulsa

2011-08-24T10:41:00.000-07:00

Taj McWilliams-Franklin led the Minnesota Lynx to a 78-72 win Tuesday night against the Tulsa Shock.

This was a huge win for the Lynx because you never want to be the team that the Shock end up beating. The Tulsa Shock have an WNBA record 19 game losing streak going here.

McWilliams-Franklin had a late block that sealed the deal for the Lynx with 19 seconds to go in the game.

Minnesota Lynx Torched by Connecticut Sun

2011-08-18T09:59:00.000-07:00

The Minnesota Lynx suffered a crushing loss to the Connecticut Sun and got absolutely torched 108-78 in Connecticut.

It sure seemed like the Lynx players were nervous. Especially Maya Moore, who attended the University of Connecticut and starred there for four years. She only managed to make 1 of the 7 shots she took against the Sun.

The Lynx are still 18-6 and in prime position to capture the number 1 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs.

Mercury End Lynx's 9 Game Win Streak

2011-08-11T09:01:00.000-07:00

The Minnesota Lynx did all they could Sunday night, but still didn't come away with a win. The Lynx lost 85-80 to the Mercury in Phoenix on Sunday night. They got all the performances that they needed from their stars, but Diana Taurasi came away with a critical steal with just 20 seconds remaining in the game.

Maya Moore led the way for the Lynx with 28 points while Seimone Augustus poured in 26 points of her own.

Maya Moore Continues to Wow Lynx Crowd

2011-08-02T08:23:00.000-07:00

The Lynx have firmly shown the WNBA that they are the team to beat. The Lynx recently just pounded the reigning league champion Seattle with a score of 92-67 at the Target Center in front of a crowd of 7,856.

The Lynx will meet second place San Antonio on Sunday afternoon and again Thursday at the Target Center.

What is at the core of the Lynx's success? Or should I say who... Maya Moore. Moore has solidified her place as an emerging super star. Alongside Seimone Augustus, who just became the WNBA's fastest player to reach the 3,000-point mark, it appears that Maya Moore and the Lynx are serious contenders emerging to knock on the championship-door.

All Star Game Recap: All Four Lynx Play Well

2011-07-26T11:36:00.000-07:00

Four Lynx played in the WNBA All Star game on Saturday afternoon in San Antonio. Here's how each of the players did:

Maya Moore: Scored 10 points on 5-15 shooting. Also recorded three steals, assists, and rebounds. She played for close to 23 minutes. She was the first rookie to start since Tamika Catchings and Sue Bird both did it in 2002.

Rebekkah Brunson: Started in place of Candace Parker. Efficiently scored 20 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. It was her second All Star appearance.

Lindsay Whalen: Had 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and four points. It was her second All Star appearance. She played 17 minutes.

Seimone Augustus: Was making her 3rd All Star appearance. Played 17 minutes and scored 9 points had 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Minnesota Lynx are in First Place???

2011-07-21T09:22:00.000-07:00

The Minnesota Lynx beat the mighty Phoenix Mercury last night. The Minnesota Lynx are now in first place in the WNBA. This is huge for the franchise. They were led by Seimone Augustus, who led the team in scoring with 25 points. Lindsay Whalen and Maya Moore chipped in 16 points as the Lynx won 106-98. At one point, they led 88-73 with a little over 8 minutes to go. The Lynx ended the Mercury's 5 game home winning streak.

Wow the Lynx are bossy. Hopefully they can keep this up and then they'll bring home the WNBA Championship baby!

Minnesota Lynx Dominate Sun with Huge Third Quarter

2011-07-13T12:11:00.000-07:00

Maya Moore had a breakout game as she scored a career high 26 points against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday. It was a match up of two second place teams in their respective conferences. The Lynx arre in second place in the Western Conference while the Sun is in second place in the Eastern Conference.

The Lynx only led led by one at half time. And the the third quarter happened. The Lynx outscore the Sun 23-6 in the third quarter on their way to a 90-67 shellacking of the Connecticut Sun.

The Lynx are now 7-3 and are still in 2nd place in the Western Conference.

The Minnesota Lynx are Actually Really, Really Good

2011-07-06T11:19:00.000-07:00

The Lynx are so good. They got a much needed win against Tulsa and are now 6-3, good for second place in the Western Conference. With Maya Moore and Simone Augustus on the team, they are just pretty darn bossy. They absolutely slaughtered Tulsa 101-71, forcing 27 turnovers.

So if your looking for something to do, head down to the Target Center and watch the dominating Lynx. They are absolute studs and are going to win the WNBA Championship.

Timberwolves Exercise Options for Wesley Johnson, Lazar Hayward, Wayne Ellington

2011-06-29T10:29:00.000-07:00

The Minnesota Timberwolves have announced today that they are exercising the options for Lazar Hayward, Wesley Johnson, and Wayne Ellington. One of them makes sense, the other two don't. By exercising the options, they guarantee that the wolves will be able to keep them all through the 2012-2013 season.

They had to pick up the 3rd year option for Wes Johnson. It was an obvious move. He was pretty good last year and has a ton of potential and they invested a ton of their future into him.

Lazar Hayward? Are you kidding me? Here's the problem I have with this, this is an example of Kahn simply being stubborn. Admit you screwed up with Lazar Hayward and that he isn't an NBA player.

Wayne Ellington makes some sense. He is a pretty good three point shooter, something this team needs, but he is nothing more than that. You just have to say when you're making these decisions. is this guy a part of our future? The answer with Ellington is clearly no.

Hopefully the Wolves made the moves in hopes of trading these two guys, but here's what I think: they won't get jack back for these two. Nobody wants them.

Minnesota Timberwolves 2011 NBA Draft Party Should be Poppin'

2011-06-21T10:19:00.001-07:00

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be hosting a draft party at Lifetime fitness right across from the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. This is a huge moment for the franchise and it should be a ton of fun. Look, the franchise can really take a turn for the better with some good moves in this draft. The team holds the 2nd and 20th picks in this Thursdays draft. By bringing in both Derrick Williams and Ricky Rubio in the same year, the Wolves really could be on to something and there would be a lot of excitement around the team. Doors for the draft party open at 5 30 pm Central time.

Kid Cudi

2011-06-14T09:30:00.000-07:00

Kid Cudi will be performing at the Target Center July 12th. Kid Cudi is promoting his newest Album Man on the Moon II, the sequel to Man on the Moon, his debut album. Kid Cudi is a Cleveland based rapper who made it big after his mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi". If you haven't heard the mixtape "A Kid Named Cudi" I highly recommend you do so. Such a good CD.

The Minnesota Lynx

2011-06-08T11:24:00.000-07:00

Target Center, no longer ‘Target Center’?

2011-05-19T11:03:00.000-07:00

As reported here by Sid Hartman

“According to Timberwolves officials, Target Corp. hasn't made a decision yet whether it will continue to hold the naming rights on Target Center when its contract runs out at the end of September. The Wolves have 14 years left on their lease with the city and would prefer a 14-year naming rights contract…Life Time Fitness, which has a health club in the arena, is reported to be one of the leading candidates if Target doesn't renew.”

My reaction: I guess that means this blog might have to be shut down. Uh, oh.

Minnesota Timberwolves May Surprise Some People This Season

2010-08-30T12:38:00.000-07:00

Many newspapers, websites, writers, and virtually any other form of media, has low expectations for the Minnesota Timberwolves heading into the 2010-2011 season. I understand some of that sentiment - however, I believe this is the best roster they have had since losing Kevin Garnett. Okay, maybe that is not saying a heck of a whole lot, but I think there is reason for hope. The players listed below all have some potential to turn some heads in my opinion:

- Kevin Love: A double-double machine. Will have his first shot at starting at PF since Al Jefferson was traded.

- Michael Beasley: A former #2 overall pick and averaged 15 points and 6 rebounds last season for Miami. He has a lot to play for and I think he will play with something to prove.

- Wesley Johnson: An unknown. Considered a "safe" pick but the #4 overall player will have high expectations. I think he could surprise fans with his athleticism.

- Wayne Ellington: A 3-point shooter who will look to improve in his 2nd season.

- Jonny Flynn: Averaged 14 points and 4 assists last season as a rookie. Undersized but he is an explosive athlete.

- Martell Webster: Another unknown. Could be a big surprise or a bust. We will see what type of player he is. I am looking forward to watching this guy.

- Nikola Pekovic: A European who was highly coveted. Tough and edgy player. Again, an unknown.

- Darko Milic: I get it. He's been a bust where he was drafted. However, he gives the Wolves a legit center that can play defense.

- Lazar Hayward: A rookie who has said all the right things. We'll see what we have with him.

- Corey Brewer: A candidate for Most Improved Player last season. Let's see if he can keep it going.

- Anthony Tolliver: Hey, the guy made a classic YouTube video about "The Decision"

Michael Beasley will have a chance to show his potential that gained him nationwide attention from his career at Kansas State. He averaged 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds a game, dominating the competition. Still just a 21 year old, it makes quite a young front court duo with Kevin Love.

Styx, Foreigner and Kansas unite star studded Summer Tour

2010-06-04T08:42:00.000-07:00

Styx, Foreigner, Kansas... no I'm not just listing iconic American bands. The 3 superstar groups are joining forces for a star-studded Summer Tour. Styx and Foreigner with special guest Kansas will be appearing at the Minneapolis Target Center on Thursday July 1st as a part of the United in Rock Tour.

The United in Rock Tour featuring Styx Foreigner and special guest Kansas kicks off in May and will cross the country all summer long. The three bands have all spent lots of time on the tops of the the charts and radio play-lists and all equally seem excited about joining up for the show.

“I am very excited to be performing this summer with both Foreigner and Kansas on our United In Rock Tour. These three bands represent the more rocking side of the classic rock genre. With the countless great rock songs each band will be performing this is going to be a guitars-a-blazin’ good time had by all. STYX is a band that one of our best known songs is about the blue collar man in the unemployment line and we totally identify with the average hard working people that are facing difficult economic times. We want to say thank you with affordable tickets for you and your family,” said James “JY” Young of Styx.

Target Center Parking could be tricky when Target Center Events Calendar collides with Twins Target Field Schedule

2010-05-28T11:54:00.000-07:00

It may seem like Minneapolis is a big city, with plenty of street parking, surface lots, and parking ramps... However, in the warehouse district where both the Target Center and Target Field are located parking near either venue can become tricky. Parking near the Target Center and Target Field when there is an event at both may prove to be impossible.

The first test of this double booking will happen on June 29th when Justin Beiber is at the Target Center and the Minnesota Twins have a home game at Target Field. With events at both the Target Center and Target Field parking in downtown Minneapolis on 6/29 may turn out to be just as hard as getting Bieber Tickets was. Plan early and plan to walk if you have Target Center or Target Field Tickets on that night!

Minnesota Lynx home opener ends in a disappointment but fans are looking forward to 2010 Lynx Season with Lindsey Whalen

2010-05-18T08:53:00.000-07:00

Sunday night the Minnesota Lynx played their first home game of the 2010 Lynx season. Fan support for the Lynx and their new hometown star Lindsey Whalen was at an all time high as almost 10,000 fans showed up to watch the Lynx kick off their season.

The Minnesota Lynx hung tight and at times fans were confident that they would pull out a win, but at the end of the night the WNBA Minnesota Lynx walked away with a 87-76 loss. However, fan spirit in the Target Center was reflective of a win. Local fans have been waiting for Lindsey Whalen to come back to Minnesota since she graduated from the University of Minnesota where she was a star on the Golden Gophers Basketball Team.

A Minnesota Lynx representative told reporters he felt that fan support wouldn’t wane even if the Lynx weren’t winning right after the bat and he's probably right. Minnesotans are looking for a reason to be exctied about basketball at the Target Center and Whalen and the WNBA Lynx may be the answer.

Minnesota Lynx Schedule still has games left, it's not too late for a basketball game at the Target Center!

2010-04-21T09:02:00.000-07:00

It may seem like basketball season is long over, with lots of hype and attention be directed at Target Field and the Minnesota Twins, it is easy to forget that there are still basketball games going on Target Center. But don't be fooled... the Target Center Schedule still has several basketball games left on it.

The WNBA season is far from over and the Minnesota Lynx still have lots of home games left at the Target Center. The Minnesota Lynx Schedule goes all the way into the summer. So when you are looking for a way to beat the heat mid-summer, skip the outdoor Target Field hot zone and check out the air-conditioned Target Center and a Minnesota Lynx game. Who knows, you may even see Minnesota Timberwolves players there trying to pick up some tips!

Next Target Center Concert is over a month away, why the Target Center Schedule is so empty and why Target Field may be to blame

2010-04-14T09:26:00.000-07:00

Anyone who is even remotely connected into the big concert scene in the Twin Cities has recognized that the Summer Concert Schedule for the Xcel Energy Center far outweighs that of the the Target Center.

Just for a starting point, the Target Center does not have a concert on the events calendar for over a month. The next Target Center Concert is Daughtry, on May 19th. In contrast the Xcel Energy Center has Taylor Swift, James Taylor and Brooks and Dunn all before that May 19th concert. There has been lots of speculation as to why the Target Center didn't pull in big names for the spring and summer concert series this year, everything from artists don't like the Target Center to the Xcel Energy Center has better sound... in my opinion those types of answers just don't float, the Target Center has had lots of great concerts many of which have been reported to have amazing sound.

I genuinely think that Target Field may be to blame... with such a focus placed on the Minnesota Twins this season and making sure that Target Field got off on a good foot, the Target Center took a back burner... understandable when you consider the full-time resident of the Target Center (the Minnesota Timberwolves) and their season end struggles. However, because of the Target Field buzz, Target Corporate may have to face some sad financial facts when the summer concert numbers come in later this summer.

The Justin Bieber My World Tour is Justin Bieber's first headlining tour. The My World Tour will stop at the Minneapolis Target Center on Tuesday June 29th with concert doors opening at 5:30 and Bieber Fever at 7:00.

The Minneapolis Target Center set to get a green roof

2010-03-17T11:26:00.000-07:00

The Target Center in an effort to be more eco-friendly is proposing a Green Roof. The plan would include a growing zone 2.75 inches thick for much of the 115,000-square-foot main roof and 3.5 inches in a 32-foot-wide edge where there's more structural support...

The investment, will take longer to become cost effective than the current Minnesota Timberwolves contract is slated to last, begging the question if it really is a good investment. Some critics are saying that the structure may not be suited for a green roof and the Target Center is doing anything and everything it can to stay in the press and viable while it loses the scheduling battle for summer concerts with the Xcel Energy Center.

Target Center Events Calendar still lacking compared to the Xcel Energy Center Events Calendar...

2010-03-12T08:06:00.000-08:00

The Target Center is going to be a quiet place at the end of the Minnesota Timberwolves season. What used to be a war of the venues between the Target Center in Minneapolis and the St. Paul Xcel Energy Center, has turned into a one sided fight. The Xcel Energy Center Events Calendar is full of great concerts through out the spring and summer. The Target Center Concert Schedule is VERY VERY empty, except for Daughtry and Nickelback.

I'm really curious as to why the Target Center is so quiet. If you know anything or have even heard anything please let me know, as a personal fan of the Target Center over the X, I would love to know why the two schedules are so radically different.

Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Family comes out of the moives and into the Target Center

2010-02-15T09:37:00.000-08:00

If you have been to a movie in the past few years you have seen previews for one of Tyler Perry's hit movies featuring Madea, the angry black woman. Produced, acted and directed by Tyler Perry the Madea stories are a huge hit and audiences of all kinds are relating to her.

American Idol Star Daughtry comes to the Target Center

2010-02-03T10:45:00.001-08:00

"American Idol Star Daughtry" may be the one phrase that Chris Daughtry founder and frontman of the rock band Daughtry can't wait to get rid of. In reality Daughtry will probably always be known for his American Idol start. Like it our not, his start on the hit-show propelled him to stardom and has fueled the interest in the tour.

Currently Daughthry is touring internationally but will be returning to the States this spring to start the second leg of his tour which features Lifehouse and Cavo. Daughtry told reporters about the tour, "Growing up, you dream about singing one of your songs in front of a packed house,” he says. "I still get chills when we’re playing and I hear the crowd singing louder than we are.”

Daughtry will be at the Target Center May 19th at 7:30.

Target Center Events Calendar looks a little bare compared to other venues

2010-01-27T08:34:00.000-08:00

Despite being just miles from each other the Target Center in Minneapolis and the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul are two totally different venues. The Target Center has a busy downtown feel that always seems to have something going on. The Xcel Energy Center in contrast has a just down the street vibe that makes the large scale venue feel much smaller.

Typically both venues have a spring and summer concert schedule that is non-stop. However, the Target Center Concert Schedule this spring seems to be a bit lacking in comparison to the Xcel Energy Center Concert Schedule. The Target Center is bringing in big names like Daughtryand Nickelback. But when compared to the Xcel Energy Center who has Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, John Mayer, James Taylor and Carole King, and Michael Buble the Target Center seems a little empty.

If you are a loyal Target Center patron, I would suggest taking in some Minnesota Timberwolves games now, while there are still lots on the Target Center Calendar because after the Minnestoa Timberwolves Season the Target Center Schedule is going to start looking a little sparse.

Nickelback coming to the Target Center

2010-01-25T08:23:00.000-08:00

Hit-Sensation Nickelback is coming to the Target Center Monday May 24th with special guests Breaking Benjamin, Shinedown & Sick Puppies. Grammy-nominated Nickelback has been on top of several charts including Billboard and was named the Billboard Magazine group of the Decade.

Nickelback's hits include "If Everyone Cared", "Hero", "Too Bad", "Because of You", and "Leader of Men". Although Nickelback Criticism at time has been harsh and abundant, the rock group Nickelback seems to fight through the haters time and time again to produce music that touches people and finds extreme popularity with millions.

The Minneapolis Nickelback concert will be a part of the Dark Horse World Tour that was extended into June 2010 due to its popularity. Nickelback is one of the "greats" as far as group touring goes and should not be missed!

Minnesota Gophers Border Battle for Men's Hockey Coming to the Target Center

2010-01-13T08:04:00.000-08:00

The rivalry between the Minnesota Golden Gophers and the Wisconsin Badgers is undeniable, Badgers hate Gophers and Gophers can't stand Badgers. It makes sense, then that any time these two teams get even close to each other things get heated.

In NCAA Division-I Men's Hockey, the Gopher-Badger Rivalry is extremely strong. Annually, the two teams get together for the Border Battle, a face-off on the ice for who can hold bragging rights and superiority for the next year.

This year's Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey Border Battle will be at the Target Center on March 5th. Face off is at 7:00. This is the first time the Gopher-Badger Border Battle will be on the ice in downtown Minneapolis in over a decade, making the game even more hyped.

Tickets to the Gopher-Badger Hockey Game are limited and I would guess that they will sell very fast. Don't miss your chance to see it all live, buy Minnesota Gophers Hockey Tickets today!

The MN Orchestra presents the Music of Led Zepplin and Queen at the US Bank Theater at the Target Center

2010-01-05T09:39:00.000-08:00

Think that classic music is boring and going to the MN Orchestra is lame? WRONG. The Minnesota Orchestra is putting on a show at the US Bank Theater at the Target Center on Febuary 4th that will feature the music of rock legends Led Zepplin and Queen.

Our concept for The Music of Led Zeppelin was to take the music as close to the originals as we could and then add some colors to enhance what Zep had done,” says Brent Havens conductor and arranger. “The wonderful thing with an orchestra is that you have an entire palette of sounds to call upon. The band is reproducing what Led Zeppelin did on the albums, verbatim, and then having an orchestra behind the band gives the music richness, a whole different feel, a whole different sense of power.”

While no one could ever reproduce the music of Led Zeppelin and Queen perfectly, the Minnesota Orchestra presentation of these two rock legends is very close. Don't miss your chance to see how classical music is really not that much different than rock.

Minnesota Timberwolves play the best at home in the Target Center

2009-12-28T12:35:00.000-08:00

No one would argue that the Minnesota Timberwolves got off to a rough start this season, with several losses and lots of almosts... the MN Timberwolves made it hard to find the desire to go to the Target Center. Things are looking up though, with several wins in December, most of them at home... The Minnesota Timberwolves seem to be setteling into the new offense, new coach and new players.

And the Target Center couldn't be happier. The Minnesota Timberwolves are a huge part of the Target Center schedule, and no venue wants a loser taking up most of the scheduled events. With several home games coming up on the Minnesota Timbewolves Schedule, the Target Center Seating Chart is bound to start getting more and more full.... its a great catch-22. The more the Minneosta Timberwolves Roster wins, the more people want to go to Minnesota Timberwolves Games, the more people that want to go to Minnesota Timberwolves Games at the Target Center, the harder it is to get Target Center Tickets and the fewer people can go...

So my advice: The Minneosta Timberwolves are still are pretty tightly held secret, there are lots of opportunites to see the Twolves at home in the Target Center, scoop up Target Center Tickets today before the rush sets in!

A Target Center writer wrote, "ball-handling magic, gravity-defying dunks and crowd interaction" makes the the Harlem Globetrotters show one of the best of the year!

After Saturday's Harlem Globetrotters Games there will a Minnesota Timberwolves Game... 2 great basketball days. One Amazing Day!
