The Star Tribune is reporting that the Timberwolves have received 3 offers to place large sings on the Target Center, facing Target Field. Right now they are just waiting on receiving permits from the city to construct the billboards that will fetch them a cool $300,000. I really hope the City Council votes against this permit.
I can just see it now, beautiful Target Field, Twins playing the Yankees on national television, and as the camera pans to show the view over right field there's the Captain himself standing on a keg promoting that family friendly beverage. Or maybe we'll get a view reminiscent of the old Calvin Klein ads. Let's not pollute Target Field with some hideous billboard. I agree that the Target Center is an eye sore looking out over right field but let's cover it with something more Minnesotan than some advertising. Let's get a local artist to do a mural. I know this won't bring the $300,000 annual revenue to the Timberwolves but maybe they should try to boost their revenue by putting a winning team on the court rather than selling building space.
