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. 大老们星期二开会讨论"明智，永恒的明尼苏达解决方案"。 "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]." "如果每个人都心想事成，我们已经完成很多计划，盖了很多新设施。"Taylor说。"但是我 们是立法机构，我们也有难题，我们从不要求新的设施。为了我们的球迷我们只是想要升 级一下。...我们希望球迷能够在Target Field,Xcel Center或是明尼苏达大学新的足球场 能有特别的感受。 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. 翻新计划: $1亿。 "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. 灰狼主场Target Center是NBA中第四旧的。带来的经济效益超过 $10亿，一年影响1百万到 1百50万的税收，全州最多的。 --
