They were…read moreplaying the Seattle Kraken... and since Seattle is my 2nd home of sorts, I grabbed a club-level ticket from StubHub and decided to check it out. Mind you, I'm more of a baseball fan than a hockey one... but I've been to a couple hockey games before and wanted to check out what Xcel Energy Center had to offer. Once I arrived, I found the various gate attendants to be super helpful in directing me to the club space (which I figured I would check out first, given you can get in about 30 minutes before the rest of the arena opens). While the club level is great in the fact that you have more readily available bathrooms and some private dining spots, I found the rest of what was offered on the club level to be kinda "meh"... specifically, not something I'd buy a ticket for again because there wasn't enough that differentiated it from the rest of the arena offerings. (And the vendors seemed to be fairly indifferent in terms of service.) Once the regular gates opened, I went downstairs to check out the rest of the concessions and other options. My *REAL* mission, mind you, was to check out the Taphouse. I wanted to try their chicken wing flight... that said, they had scheduled a pre-game happy hour and trivia event. As you can imagine, the place WAS PACKED. I decided to try again later, and instead made a couple loops around the arena to take photos, grab the signature cocktail of the game, and purchase some pins for my collection. I got to my seat as practice was ending and a couple minutes before the start of the game. Once they got things started, it was great to see people really getting into the theatrics of the lead-up to the game. Minnesota scored first, but I secretly cheered on the Kraken. Haha. After the first quarter, I decided to head back downstairs and see if the Taphouse was still really full - or if my efforts to avoid the crowds had worked out. To my pleasant surprise, there was barely anyone inside. I ordered my chicken wings (to-go, which ruined a bit of the presentation of the wing flight on the silver serving tray... but I digress) and went back to a table in the club arena to check out the rest of the game. TL;DR Minnesota folks are serious about their hockey, and it was fun to be surrounded by such enthusiastic fans. I can't say Xcel Energy Center itself wow'd me, but I appreciated the uniqueness of the wing flight at the Taphouse - as well as the general experience of watching a game with a very dedicated fanbase. :)

It was easy to park on the streets for free, and many others did as well to avoid the parking lot fee at the stadium. They had a pre-game party on the lawn which was so fun! There were samples of beverages, games, and plenty of information booths. There are multiple entrances to head into the stadium. The stadium was epic! There is a huge Brewhall on one end of it, which was incredible, and they had lots of other food stations as well to choose from. We enjoyed the cheese curds! Lots of shops as well to get some gear. Evening games are gorgeous as the sun is setting just past the stadium. There is truly not a bad seat in the stadium! We were high up, but it was good so we were able to see the whole field. Staff were friendly and helpful too. Lots of fun chants to yell during the game, and of course waving your towel! Quite a crowd getting out of there but many traffic guards to help. Definitely worth a try!

They sponsored a picnic dinner for family outside the stadium. There's a huge pre- party area nearby for pre-game music and booths and some fun interactive experiences. I grabbed a free clear bag from Hyundai. We also checked out the kids playground area on the east side of the stadium. Loved it. Great for kids to get the wiggles out before heading into the stadium. The game was full of excitement. We sat behind the north side goal tender area. I did a nice lap around the stadium, grabbed drinks, ice cream and a souvenir for the kiddo. The only negative for me was one of the refs that had some very bad calls and the bugs. It was very buggy, I felt itchy quite often and maybe because they are constantly watering the grass so it's the only place the bugs are attracted to in the area since it's been so dry.

The whole process was very smooth. We only waited about 20 minutes in line to get out afterward, which wasn't terrible. We were in Section 124, Row 21--great view!

As the Twins' minor-league affiliate, the Saints bring a fun, energetic atmosphere to every game, and the ballpark itself makes the experience even better. CHS Field is easy to get to, with convenient parking and incredible seats that make it easy to follow every pitch. The amenities for patrons are excellent, and there is a great mix of comfort, character, and excitement throughout the stadium. The history of the Saints and their place in St. Paul baseball is celebrated in a way that gives the ballpark a special sense of community and tradition. I came with some friends after an amazing dinner at nearby El Burrito Mercado, and the evening continued with a fantastic night of baseball. The food at CHS Field is also amazing, with plenty of great options, and the merchandise selection was just as impressive. It was hard not to find something fun to take home and remember the night. Several home runs and a lot of cheering ushered in another Saints win, making an already great evening even better. Between the history, the food, the merchandise, the comfortable amenities, and the excitement on the field, CHS Field is a wonderful place to catch a game. The Saints continue to deliver an incredible show in St. Paul, and I'm already looking forward to the next one.

Seeing the remodel, knowing all the secret hallways and backstages crevices, I really got to understand all components of the space. Helping guests navigate ramps A and B were a daily occurrence for me along with entertaining fans on camera. Flash forward to today's world, I feel a little out of sync not being there 24/7 yet there is still so much familiarity. I attended the Cardi B concert in the suite level and as I remember, every staff member was extremely helpful and the suite level was decked out with balloons and was extremely clean. I still get chills thinking about the stage managers who can transform a basketball court into a concert stage and then into an ice arena and back again. The level of detail is always mind blowing. Bravo!!! I look forward to my return to TC in whatever capacity that is. Thank you!

Hearing a full arena of kids passionately belting every lyric was its own heart-melting soundtrack.

Seats were impressively close... and uncomfortable. By intermission, I understood what Elsa meant about letting it go. Feeling in my lower back, specifically. Magical nonetheless- creating memories with your child and feeling the whimsical vibes. Would absolutely go again.

Swedish meatball bowls, Kemp's ice cream, Domino's, and many more goodies to snack on! This was honestly the most impressive part for me. One thing to note is that the arena is downtown, so parking will be inevitably tricky. We got an Uber just to save us from the hassle of finding a spot. I can't wait to go back!

The atmosphere is full of energy. Plus the women won on a buzzer beater which was so exciting.
