A sports facility is about to open in the Minneapolis Warehouse District. It is a monument to a new age in sports economics. It has about 60 luxury suites to aid in the team’s finances and to satisfy the desire of high-end customers. It has wider concourses than other previous Twin Cities facilities to allow for more points of sale for food and souvenirs. It recognizes that females are sports fans, too, what with the necessary abundance of women’s bathrooms.
Remember that anticipation? It was 20 years ago.
