Normally, teams strategically purchase naming rights to boost their brand recognition in a specific city. But Target Corp. is headquartered in Minneapolis so it seems like smart public relations to have its company emblazoned on as many public forums as possible. It bought the rights to the Timberwolves' home in 1990 and, 18 years later, acquired the rights to the Twins' new stadium, Target Field.
