[00:00:00]Most people don't know this NBA arena has a 2-acre garden on its roof. The Target Center is one of the oldest arenas in the league. When it got a new roof in the late 2000s, engineers added something unique, a 113,000 square foot green roof, one of the largest in the US.

[00:00:18]This living roof isn't just for show. It hosts a variety of plants that filter air pollutants, manage storm water, and regulate the arena's temperature.

[00:00:28]The result? Major energy savings.

[00:00:31]Heating and cooling costs have dropped since the roof went in. It's a secret giant benefit for the arena, turning a simple roof into a massive eco-friendly advantage. Not every NBA arena can say it grows a garden 2 acres above the court.
