Bring back Steve & Berrys!

All we need now is a D-League team to be HQ'd in Block E and we're all set

Looks like the hardwood is about to go down in the practice facility.

Cleveland's is 50,000 square feet and opened in 2007.
New Orleans' is also 50,000 square feet, and opened this year.

I don't have exact figures on square footage to be used by the Timberwolves, but its a 400,000 square foot building (not sure if they are double-counting for multiple floors). The plan is to lease out roughly 100,000 sq ft for office space and 20,000 for restaurants. That still leaves 280,000 square feet left. Even if they are double-counting, that's still a lot of space, and much bigger than other practice facilities.

so lets see, standard nba court is 94 by 50, 4700 sq feet, 280,000 / 4700 is 59.57, so that means the practice court will be 5,600 feet long and 2,979 feet wide - epic!

It's 4 floors so probably ~100,000 sq. ft. per floor. I think I read the Wolves/Lynx space was 107,000 sq. ft. I don't know if that includes the office space or just the practice facility.

You think they'll have training camp there this year to break it in? Or still going to Mankato?

I think Flip likes getting the team away from the normal surroundings to begin camp.
