Who is going to fund what portion of the arena's needed renovations is the underlying question.
The Minnesota Wild have called one building home for their entire existence. The question they’re now facing is, for how much longer? Since the puck dropped for the first time back on October 11, 2000 the building known as the Xcel Energy Center has been their only home. While some things, the name of the arena for one thing, are changing, the basic foundations of the building are pretty much the same since the doors opened.
