Upper sidelines. I had a decent view of the ice. Following the puck was easy and seeing the strong skating from that high up was a thing of beauty. The beer flows freely up there, lots of hardcore Wild fans and they are as knowledgeable of a fan base as I've ever seen. Minnesota loves it's hockey.

The arena itself is head and shoulders above the Metrodome and Target Center in Minneapolis. It's packed with a playoff atmosphere essentially every night, well, every game I have attended at least and I've been to five or six.

Wild tickets are expensive but are much cheaper than what you would find in other NHL arenas, especially in Canada. I have a feeling that with Suter and Parise on the squad now that Wild fans may be looking at a hike in ticket prices.
