The Xcel Energy Center is nice. The costumer service was good. Sadly the food options and prices were very overpriced compared to what I've seen even in the Bay Area.

Was in Minneapolis in time for the final Minnesota Wild hockey game of the season. 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. :)

We parked over by Union Depot since we were at an event earlier in the day there.

Lots of tasty food and beverages available for purchase all throughout. They have different events for the game and the ones we go to usually have food trucks and fireworks at the end. They also allow us to go on the field afterwards. It's a really fun family activity when the weather is nice!

I have been to about a dozen pro football games across the country, this is one on the best stadiums I have seen. I had an opportunity to attend a game and an event here. The design is awesome. The translucent roof provides natural light, the entry level is at the top of the stadium so the walk to the stands descends, the glass windows provides an image of the city's sim, the field is turf and the facility is easy to navigate.

Hoyt Luithly Field is where the local High School (The Mighty Midgets of Estherville Lincoln…read moreCentral) plays football and hosts track events. It has also been used for Community gatherings such as welcoming our Troops home. The Stadium is named after Hoyt Luithly who was a local High School teacher and Coach. I never met the man, but his wife Ruth was one of my more memorable teachers. When you live in Small Town Iowa, the main thing to do on a Friday night is attend the High School Football game, either at the home stadium or down the road in Spirit Lake or Spencer, and always with a huge Booster Club of fellow students and parents. It's warm during the early games and cold when the season finally wraps up. In between is a huge social scene and relative mild community rivalries. My own experience here was as a fan, as a football player for one season (and that fumble that I almost snagged for a sure touchdown), and a shot putter on the track team. And of course there was teenage angst and a feeling that there was something bigger out there.

I worked at Target Center for 10 years as part of the MN Timberwolves and the arena always felt…read morelike a second home to me. 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. Snacks and light-up toys were priced somewhere between "theme park" and "second mortgage," but honestly, that's part of the Disney contract we all silently agree to. 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.

The arena itself was the perfect size in my opinion. There isn't a spot without a great view, even from the top!! And of course, the concessions are the best part of any sports game but I think this arena definitely takes the cake for the best options. 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! Mariucci is the epitome of a fun, college hockey night and camaraderie. Ski-U-mah!
