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.

Lil’ Wayne Minneapolis Tour Stop

I admit I am not really into the hip-hop style of music Lil’ Wayne performs, but I saw his name on a list of top things to do in 2009 put out by the Pioneer Press. Really the list item was to attend a concert at the Xcel and Target Center and his January 19th show date made the list. Lil’ Wayne will be joined by Keyshia Cole and T-Pain and special guests Gym Class Heroes.

I have to admit I probably won’t be going to the Lil’ Wayne show. However, I will make the same pledge on this Target Center blog site as I did on my Xcel Energy Center blog, if you write a Lil’ Wayne show review in the comments section of my blog, I will post it on the front page and give you full credit. I want to make this blog about all types of shows and music at the Target Center not just the ones I attend.

Monday, January 19th is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I hope Lil’ Wayne and everyone takes a moment to remember that and all that Dr. King did for our country. As a recognized federal holiday, the parking meters won’t be enforced either so get down town early enough to snag one and you won’t have to worry about paying for Target Center parking.

Target Center Blog

OK, I haven’t updated my Target Center blog in awhile, but I am back and ready to type and to keep the public informed on the happenings of the Target Center Minneapolis. Stay Tuned for updates including Target Center parking and transportation updates as well as Concert updates and don’t forget the Minnesota Timberwolves season is just around the corner.
