GOODBYE SANFORD HEALTH SIGN

I am very happy that Target Corp who has naming rights for Target Center ordered Sanford Health to remove their own sign from Target Center on Halloween. You may remember I wrote an article titled CAN WE JUSTLEAVE THE WAY TARGET CENTER IS? We even don’t have Sanford Health here in Minnesota. Every time I go over to Target Plaza or Twins game, I was like why can’t they just get it off because as what in my article stated that its eyesore. I have suggestion for Target Corp: Replace Sanford sign with famous Target mascot, Bullseye (I call the dog “Spot”.

CAN WE JUST LEAVE THE WAY TARGET CENTER IS?

By Rach Eggert

A major health company, Sanford Health want to post their huge advertising sign on side of Target Center facing Target Field and Target Plaza. For god's sake, the building is going to be 20 years old (will turn 20 on Oct 13) and I like the way it is. We don't need more "spam" to take our eyes off baseball field. Purpose of Twins and Target Field is for us to enjoy baseball games even to relax and don't you think we get plenty of advertising at the Field?

Target Plaza is public gathering, those three places- Target Field, Target Plaza, and Target Center was paid with taxpayers money so we could have entrainment not spam. City owns the gym (Target Center), Ballpark Authority owns Field, and Plaza is owned by the city and field. Twins wasn't too happy about it.

Can Sanford Health just leave Target Center alone? I know some people think the building look so ugly but to me, it doesn't bother me at all. Whatever they want to put on the gym is totally eyesore.

What is your opinion?
