Target Center is a multi-purpose arena located in Minneapolis that opened in 1990. It hosts major family shows, concerts, sporting events, graduations and private events. Target Corporation, founded and headquartered in Minneapolis since 1902, has held the naming rights to the arena since its opening.[3]
The arena has been the home to the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association (NBA)[4] since its opening and is currently also the home of the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA).[5] The Minnesota Myth and the Target Center announced that the Myth would be playing their home games there for the 2024 Arena Football Season.[6] The facility has also hosted the LFL's Minnesota Valkyrie, the RHI's Minnesota Arctic Blast, the IHL's Minnesota Moose, and the Arena Football League's Minnesota Fighting Pike in the past.
Target Center is the second-oldest arena in the NBA after Madison Square Garden, which was built in 1968.[7]
