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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
