ThinkPad Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 There's a really nice lot right across the street from the X - the RiverCentre ramp. During Wild games, it's $15. There is also a lot across the street (Corner of 7th and Kellogg) and that is normally $20 during Wild games. There is usually limited parking at the Holiday Inn, again $15 during Wild games. If you are looking at having a couple before the game, usually Alary's Bar will run a shuttle. Parking is usually $2 at their lot, and then you will get a free voucher to get a ride to the X with purchase of a beer ($5 I believe). So, for $7, you get a free beer and a shuttle to the X. There is generally plenty of parking around the Xcel. I usually park at the ramp at the Holiday Inn - easy in, easy out as most of it is right turns, and on the way out you get your own lane thanks to the St. Paul cops. Only time I ever had trouble finding parking around the X was during the NHL all star game a few years back when they had the St. Paul Winter Carnival going on at the same time they had the All-Star festivities going on. Generally, I think you should be able to find parking that is safe and a close walking distance (as in 2 blocks or less) to the X. Xcel's website also has some parking tips - http://www.xcelenergycenter.com/parking/parking.jsp Hope this helps, and I hope I didn't break any rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomackman Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Being a horse's ass the gelding's missing part must come easy to bison fans, they prove it over and over and over again. Geeze! Don't you have something to do over in Cow Pasteur land,? Shoveling comes to mind.... Talk about anger issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomackman Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Like those two hits are anywhere near comparable, what a jackass, like I told you earlier today, go bask in the glory of your basketball team's loss to Kansas. Or better yet, continue to question the character of a 20 year old kid. Either way, you're a boob. More uncontrolled anger being shown here.

Click on your name, go to Options, and "Manage Ignore..." will be on the list. Click on that and add the names. Mmm, did I miss a step? Yes, I did! When you click on your name, you'll go to your Profile and in the far right there is the 'Edit Profile' link, click on that, you'll get options, etc. Edited April 2, 2011 by Sioux-cia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knickball2 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thank you, I've ignored lomackman, and I see RockyBison has now been banned. Oh happy day..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux-cia Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thank you, I've ignored lomackman, and I see RockyBison has now been banned. Oh happy day..... I don't understand why lomackman hasn't been banned. He's admitted he's trolling, "You guys are just a little sociological experiment in group think, which is very interesting to observe. I lead you down a primrose path and all of you follow it in lockstep. How does it feel to be a drone?." If that's not trolling, I don't know what is?!? http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=trolling&i=53181,00.asp Definition of: trolling <BR itxtNodeId="9"><BR itxtNodeId="8">(1) Surfing, or browsing, the Web.<BR itxtNodeId="6"><BR itxtNodeId="5">(2) Posting derogatory messages about sensitive subjects on newsgroups and chat rooms to bait users into responding.<BR itxtNodeId="3"><BR itxtNodeId="2">(3) Hanging around in a chat room without saying anything, like a "peeping tom."

jodcon Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thank you, I've ignored lomackman, and I see RockyBison has now been banned. Oh happy day..... Awww...I'm going to miss rockybison, he was such an easy target. Oh well, we still got loconumbsackman to entertain us I guess. Never thought I'd say this, but I would trade these two for MplsBison every day of the week, at least he was semi-intelligent even if he was way off base most of the time.

Dakota Dave Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Maybe "Parking" isn't the best place to put this, but folks coming in from out of town and looking for shortcuts or side-routes should know that a lot of roads are closed for one reason or another right now. A wrong turn can add an hour to your drive in no time. For those driving into downtown beyond the X (ie., staying at Hilton Garden Inn, etc.), Cedar, 4th and some others are closed because of light rail construction. And same thing goes for University or Washington Avenues (for those staying at UM or Mpls hotels). Not good options http://www.metrocouncil.org/transportation/ccorridor/centralcorridor.asp Plus, a favorite detour of folks coming up from Bloomington/35E: Shepard Road, is closed at Eagle...maybe further south by now....due to flooding.

focker Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 This may have been mentioned, but the GOLD RAMP behind McGovern's is a great place to park. It's right by all the bars/restauants on 7th street and it's pretty easy to get out from there and get home... Plus it's usually a little bit less expensive than the Rivercenter ramp, although further from the actual arena. If you are going to the bars before/after the game on 7th street, park here... The hardest parking will be for the Thursday game, as the city is full of people parked there for work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
