We attend WILD hockey games and other events (concerts, SWARM lacrosse etc) here. It's clean, modern and no seat is bad or uncomfortable.

This is a perfect place to watch hockey or a concert. No such thing as a bad seat in the house. A joy to attend. Parking is a little difficult though due to many attractions in the area.

This place is one of the best in the country for watch hockey games to concerts! There is not a bad seat in the place. From fishing shows to camping and boating shows you can't beat the Xcel Energy Center!

Living in Minnesota, I have been to the Xcel numerous times for Wild games or concerts. I have to say that there isn't a bad seat in the house. There is no better place to take in an indoor event. (Notice I said indoor, Target Field is a must see outdoor ball park). It's fairly easy to get to, and... More

I have spent many formative nights inside the Xcel Energy Center. Watching the Minnesota Wild, the Swarm, and countless concerts makes this venue one of my all-time favorites. It also doesn't hurt playing in the state hockey tourney, either. Great place for sports, music, and whatever else they put on in here! LOVE THE XCEL!

When you come to visit the State of Hockey, we want you to see, feel and experience the game of hockey and no better place to enjoy that then being at the "X". When they built this, they did it right. Though I liked the old civic center, this is state of the art. There are no bad seats.

We try to take in a game here every year. Hopefully, the Wild become rivals with the JETS so I have more reason to go.
