Well I did not attend the fan fest but I did bring the family down to The X for Friday's game. So glad the games are not in Target Center anymore; love the X. Here are a few observations...
- This is a hockey arena so the ice is good and the sight-lines are very good
- My family did not have to endure a full body cavity search to get into the arena like we did to get into Target Center
- When I left my seat to get a beer or beers for our group I did not have to show my ticket every time to be allowed to return to my seat
- There were not missing railings on the the steps to get to our seats like there were in Target Center. Much better to get my parents who are their mid-70s safely to their seats.
- When I purchased tickets I asked to sit in a section the Visiting team shoots at twice, and they put me in the wrong end of the arena. Shame on you X; this is your job! You have to be better than this.
- Parking was easy; RiverCentre ramp right next to arena
- Fleet Farm sign making tables were awesome! Big ups to the NCHC on this!
- Suggestion to the X...when a team brings their band to the arena, let them play! Stop playing your pre-programmed music over the top of my school's fight song!
- Glad we are back at the X!!!
