Brought my wife along to her first Wild game last season when the Winnipeg Jets were in town. She was amused to say the least, haha, the atmosphere may have been a little too much for her with all of the fighting and crazy fans.

We sat in row 20 which was great because when you sit close to the glass and behind the net, seeing the opposite net becomes a struggle. You'll be like 'man, I can't wait until the puck comes back down this way'. Very similar to sitting in the endzone at a Vikings game if you've done that.

Getting to the arena is easy and so is parking. If Xcel were in Minneapolis, that would be a completely different story so I'm glad the arena is in St. Paul. For pre-game dining, I would highly recommend Great Waters Brewing Company, you will typically find a lot of Brewers fans there.
