Xcel Engery Center San Jose Sharks Apparel ARena Announced

In January 2007, the Republican National Committee announced their selection of the Xcel Energy Center NHL Jerseys arena in St. Paul as the site for their September 2008 GOP National Convention. In February 2007, debt relief bills related to the Xcel Energy Center/RiverCentre were introduced in the Minnesota Legislature. The GOP convention was mentioned as a partial reason for the debt relief request. The loan forgiveness on the interest-free state loan for the arena itself would be worth approximately $42.7 million. An additional $55.8 million was requested to pay off the RiverCentre and parking ramp bonds. SF 557 and SF 558 were the first bills to be introduced.
