Wild now play at Grand Casino Arena after new naming rights deal succeeds Xcel Energy Center
The Wild's parent organization, Minnesota Sports and Entertainment, announced on Monday the 14-year agreement with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe that takes effect on Sept. 3. The tribe operates two casino-resort complexes in east-central Minnesota, north of the Twin Cities.
The arena, which has about 18,000 seats for hockey, opened in 2000 for the Wild's inaugural season in the NHL on a 25-year naming rights deal with Xcel Energy that expired this summer. The utility provider remains a community and business partner of the club.
In addition to Wild games, the downtown arena in Minnesota's capital has hosted four NCAA Men's Frozen Four events, two U.S. figure skating championships, two U.S. gymnastics championships, a Republican National Convention and numerous high school state tournaments, concerts and shows.

Graco met analysts' revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $528.3 million, up 7.3% year on year. It was a satisfactory quarter for the company, with a decent beat of analysts' EPS estimates but a miss of analysts' Process revenue estimates. Is Graco a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Graco's revenue to grow 6.7% year on year to $590.2 million, a reversal from the 1.2% decrease it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.79 per share. Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings.

GE Aerospace delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 21.2%, beating analysts' expectations by 15.6%, and Worthington reported flat revenue, topping estimates by 5.6%. GE Aerospace traded down 1.1% following the results while Worthington was up 1.8%. Read our full analysis of GE Aerospace's results here and Worthington's results here. There has been positive sentiment among investors in the industrial machinery segment, with share prices up 5.9% on average over the last month.
