IowaSioux24 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I didn't see a thread on this years NCHC tournament so figured I would start one. Since it will be in MSP this year instead of St. Paul figured we could use this to share ideas of places to go before/after games, etc. I do have one question, for anyone who ordered tickets online has anyone received their tickets yet in the mail ?

Just a confirmation; tickets will be mailed closer to tournament time. Free fanfest between games each day at Target Field Plaza, not much time between games, however. Quote
MattC Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I plan to go now that I live in Minneapolis. I'm looking forward to it. I missed the last two final fives so I'm itching to go to another tourney. Quote

smokey the cat Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 St Paul was just too far away, LOL? St Paul was just too far away, LOL? To people in Minneapolis that would be a yes. Quote

IowaSioux24 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 Anyone have any good ideas for a good greasy breakfest close to Target Center ? We used to hit up Mickeys dinner after a long night but now will have to find a new spot, hopefully within walking distance. Any recommendations ? Quote

If you're referring to in the morning, you have Hell's Kitchen(might want to make a res), The Local has a good brunch buffet, Key's Cafe has some solid omelettes and lastly Devil's Advocate has Bottomless Mimosas for $6 if you're looking for an early buzz to start the day. They're all about 5-6 blocks from the Target Center. 1 Quote

They're all about 5-6 blocks from the Target Center. Depending on where your hotel is, add 8th Street Grill to the list - just make sure they're serving that morning. Also, the breakfast burger at Kieran's, across the street from the TC, is awesome if you get there on the brunch menu. Quote
GFG Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Never had breakfast there, but I've never been disappointed with Kieran's food Quote
Godsmack Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 My girlfriend and I will be there! A lifelong resident of C. Springs and CC Tiger fan, she is now a North Dakota fan as well! Quote
smokey the cat Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Never had breakfast there, but I've never been disappointed with Kieran's food How many places does he have now? Quote
Godsmack Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Anyone know What hotel(s) would be most convenient to the Target Center? Quote
jodcon Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Anyone know What hotel(s) would be most convenient to the Target Center? I've stayed at the Marriott and Westin and they are both pretty nice and real close, but a little pricey because of the location. If you're willing to walk a few more blocks there are more options.

IowaSioux24 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 I actually booked through the NCHC tournament website and got a good deal on the Marriott, was way cheaper then the advertised rate on Marriott's website. And for breakfest yes sorry I wasn't clear meant in the morning. Quote

smokey the cat Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Anyone know What hotel(s) would be most convenient to the Target Center? There is the Hotel Minneapolis which is a Marriott Autograph hotel with an advance purchase rate of $88 a night. Hyatt Regency for $99 a night advance purchase. Millennium Hotel for $93 a night. Hilton for a $109 a night. Le Meridian for $119 a night. Hilton Garden Inn for a $119 a night. Out of these the best deal is the Hotel Minneapolis. All within walking distance or a very short cab ride. Pretty much all are within 10 blocks of the Discount Center. These rates are from Expedia. There are others that maybe a little closer but much more expensive. Hope this helps whoever is looking for a hotel. All of these places will have parking fees that could run up to at least $20 a day or more with in and out privileges. Quote

MNBen Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just for other options, don't forget the light rail stops just two blocks from Target Center. That means you can also stay around Airport/MOA and have a quick and easy (and still sober) ride home too. A 24-hour pass (for light rail and buses) is $6/person or one-way rides are $2.25 (rush hour) / $1.75 other. 1 Quote

I was going to suggest that option myself...I have taken the light rail from the MOA downtown several times for Twins and Vikings games and it's far superior to trying to manage traffic and park somewhere around Target Center. 1 Quote
