This is very exciting.  The Twins Stadium has been a catalyst for what is going to be the 'Penn Station' of Minneapolis.  Minneapolis will have its very own Grand Central Station.  

Get ready for The Interchange, Minneapolis’ Grand Central Station – and then some

Minn Post Article

"This spring, while people were ripping their hair out about the Vikings stadium, a more exciting project for downtown Minneapolis was quietly speeding toward realization. And — hold onto your hat — the groundbreaking is set for next Monday. Called "The Interchange," the $80 million development, right next to Target Field, will knit together the endpoints of the North Star, Hiawatha and Central Corridor. Professional planners refer to it as a multimodal transportation hub. To Peter McLaughlin, a Hennepin County commissioner and chairman of the Regional Railroad Authority, I said that it sounded kind of like an open-air version of New York's Grand Central Terminal, where commuters catch trains, subways, buses and cabs to travel from one far-flung part of the metro to another."
