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. :)

Came here for the Vikings game on 11/09 and this was my first time there!…read more Honestly, in terms of flow, it is fairly smooth and easy. There were a lot of people trying to get in at the same time since the game started at 12 and we got there at 11am and came right off of the train. They are well organized with security and people get thru in a timely manner. The flow of the actual stadium is pretty smooth too, no complaints on that front. The bathrooms are well placed and also have a lot of stalls and I was fortunate where I happened upon clean stalls everytime, I know not everyone is that lucky lol. I did not get any food but I did get a bunch of drinks and that was also smooth - not a super long wait time. Getting out was also easy, again, the flow was smooth and no real bottlenecks. Would definitely be back!

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!

Pure Disney magic... with a side of numb legs…read more The skaters were phenomenal. Truly Olympic-level spins while dressed as your child's entire Disney+ watchlist. 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!

We sat in the first row of the upper section (207) and they were amazing seats. Mid-court and high enough to see the plays develop but not too high so that the basketball does not look like a marble. We have been parking in the Washington Avenue Ramp of late and it's been a great place to easily get in and out from I94. I always enjoy watching games here. Fans are a bit rowdy. The atmosphere is full of energy. Plus the women won on a buzzer beater which was so exciting.
