Rybak, Wolves owner Glen Taylor and other city and business leaders plan a news conference Tuesday afternoon to tout what they are calling a "sensible, sustainable Minnesota solution" for renovating the Target Center. 大老們星期二開會討論"明智，永恆的明尼蘇達解決方案"。 "If we could have our wish list, we do what a lot of other communities have done, and that would be have a new facility," Taylor said. "But I served in the Legislature. I know the difficulties that the government is facing, so we have never asked for a new facility. What we want is to bring this up to date for our fans. ... We want our fans to have the same experience that they would have at Target Field, the Xcel Center or the new football field at the University of Minnesota [TCF Bank Stadium]." "如果每個人都心想事成，我們已經完成很多計劃，蓋了很多新設施。"Taylor說。"但是我們是立法機構，我們也有難題，我們從不要求新的設施。為了我們的球迷我們只是想要升級一下。...我們希望球迷能夠在Target Field,Xcel Center或是明尼蘇達大學新的足球場能有特別的感受。 A $1 billion bonding plan announced by Gov. Mark Dayton Monday includes $8 million to match city money Rybak said will be used for basic upkeep at Target Center. The city already has $50 million in tax increment financing funds over the next 10 years aimed at keeping the facility functional. 翻新計劃: $1億。 "Now we have to come up with a public-private venture to bring it up to another level,'' Rybak said. He declined to discuss the details or total cost of the project Monday but said , "The point is to upgrade it before it becomes obsolete." Improving the fan experience likely will mean having places to eat, better seating and more lavatories, similar to what the Twins have in their new fan-friendly ballpark, Rybak said. It also might mean a new entrance to replace one that now looks like a lot of concrete, he said. "We're looking for the environment to be fresher and newer," Taylor said. Target Center is the fourth-oldest facility in the country that is home to an NBA team. According to city officials, the Target Center generates more than $100 million in economic impact a year as well as $10 million to $15 million in taxes paid mostly to the state. 灰狼主場Target Center是NBA中第四舊的。帶來的經濟效益超過 $10億，一年影響1百萬到 1百50萬的稅收，全州最多的。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.117.16.132
