Target Center, no longer ‘Target Center’?

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.

Target Center May Have a New Name

According to MyFox9:

"Target Corp.’s naming rights agreement for Target Center expires at the end of August, and while the retailer is still in talks to extend the deal, the Timberwolves are shopping around, John Vomhof writes in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Journal.

Timberwolves officials say they’re in ongoing talks with multiple companies, including Target, and that the list includes both local and national companies.

The Business journal reports Life Time Fitness Inc. as among the companies vying for the deal. Best Buy and U.S. Bancorp are also possibilities."
