203 was on the blue line which I liked. I always try to sit as close to center ice as possible but on that particular night, the seats in 203 were significantly cheaper. Bought my tickets on Ticket Network which is like Stubhub.

The view was excellent. I could see everything perfectly but there is no way that I could tell which players were on the ice and which weren't. The substitutions are too frequent for that anyway.

There was plenty of leg and elbow room in each row. Usually, the upper levels are packed to the edges with little regard for the comfort of fans. But whoever constructed this arena did so with the fans in mind because essentially every seat in the arena has a great line of sight.

Finding your seat is very easy, there are only two levels but if you do have trouble, the XCEL arena staff have always been very helpful.
There isn't much to do in terms of nightlife surrounding the arena; you have to go to Minneapolis for that.
