Timberwolves Kick In More Money For Arena Renovations
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Timberwolves and Lynx owner Glen Taylor is kicking another $9-12 million into the Target Center renovation project.
The Timberwolves announced the additional funds on Tuesday. The team says the new money will be used to get new seats, railings for the lower bowl, a new skyway off of the backside of the arena and a more improved Wi-Fi platform.
Taylor says the new money is geared toward making sure the project to refurbish the dated arena in downtown Minneapolis is as effective as possible. It will push the total cost of the project to between $138-141 million.
Renovations are underway and the city-owned building is scheduled to close this summer so the project can be completed in time for the start of the 2017-18 NBA season.
