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. :)

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!

I've been to the RC several times over the years for various events. I recently attended a…read moregraduation here and it was a mess all around. The students were provided a limited number of tickets to ensure seating - they did scan tickets if you had them but it definitely wasn't enforced. The line to get in was chaotic. Despite there being multiple entrances to the center they only had 1 single line for hundreds of people - including the grads to enter. The security and staff did a poor job at managing the flow & logistically the security area was a waste. They were supposed to stop letting people in at 10:30 but didn't start moving the line until after 10:20. The gradation had a 11 start and started late (but that could have been more so the schools side, not sure). Most people were directed to sit upstairs. Very difficult to hear upstairs. Also when the graduation was over they locked us upstairs for over 20 min - preventing people from leaving. This was deeply concerning - for many safely reasons as it was already running over time and people had places to be. I will definitely avoid attending these types of events here.

Multiple pyramids, large groups of skiers in tandem, and flips and tricks. The performers are talented, athletic, and obviously spend a lot of time practicing. They all looked like they were having fun. Sure, there are a few misses, but that's bound to happen, and it just shows how difficult what they do is. What isn't great is the plot and show they try to build around the waterskiing. It fell flat and was overly cheesy. I also didn't understand the dance numbers. Other than the ballet ski team, I kept wondering why they wanted the water skiers to dance. Let them perform as waterskiers - this is where they shine!
