The tourney is a disgrace to one of the best hockey leagues in the country. the tickets should be cheap becaus of how big a joke the target center is. Could not agree more on the ice , boards, and glass. Went to it last year. The whole thing was a joke from getting in Target Center to getting out. Until they upgrade I will stay at home and watch from my couch. 3 Quote

I'm not so concerned about the upgrades, my problem is with the employees! Quote
focker Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 After the !@#$ show that was getting our tickets last year at will call we're glad to be out of town on a ski vacation during this years Tourney. However much I love having the Tourney right here in town where I live it's not worth going to the Target Center for it. 2 Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Kinda interesting I just got a call from the Big Ten ticket office trying to sell ticket packages to the Big Ten championships when he asked how it was going today I said Well not that great for the Big Ten" he laughed and said " so you probably pretty much not interested in a ticket package?" Yeah you got that right buddy. 2 Quote

I hear ya - I have gone for many years & always enjoyed the Xcell center Maybe the Regional depending on how things turn out Quote
Popular Post MattC Posted March 5, 2016 Popular Post Posted March 5, 2016 I've got tickets to Frozen Faceoff and the West Regional. I haven't had any issues with the Target Center. Yes, it isn't as nice as the Ralph or the X, but it's still post-season hockey and I'll be there in support of the team. 7 Quote

As to your last point, tickets this year for General Admission are $45 for all 4 games. At $11.25/game, I'm not sure how much more affordable they could be. EDIT: Being told tickets can be had for $18 a day or $9/game Maybe by not trying to hang tv's in the arena (over the tunnel I was sitting near)during the game blocking fans' view of the game in process? And let's not forget fan safety where fans were being funneled out after the und game but they couldn't get fans wristbands fast enough. If it weren't for a witty fan shutting the escalators off it would have gotten very ugly very fast. Ill support und from home. I won't support the target center ever again. 1 Quote
Fetch Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 It should be all about FUN A interaction of teams from the conference Meaningless except the winner gets a last chance at the tournament - which can be exciting & how many teams have improved in the second half - it could be significant But I did not find Target Center Fun & much prefer how we made the tournament last few yrs So unless it is Fun & a pleasant place to get together with folks who love hockey as much as u do - Why do it ? It's a expensive trip - So unless it is special for lots of other reasons - I prefer to wait Plus the whole PIG 10 Thing to me ruined great rivalries & their arrogance & attitudes set back & changed the Final Five forever Trying to recreate it as Frozen Face off was worth a try - but to me has failed - mainly because of how poor the Target Center is compared to Excel Center - before the trip was kinda worth it to party eat & drink for a weekend - I guess being retired & having to be more particular about what is Fun - It just isn't there anymore Oh & my wife having knee replacement surgery next week may have also had something to do with it Quote

tnt Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 http://www.targetcenterrenovation.org/ The final approval for upgrades has come and here is the timeline for renovations. Looks like a huge high definition scoreboard is first. Quote

Just hope they do not move it to Pepsi Center or something. I was thinking Sioux Falls too. And perhaps even the old Neb-Omaha arena prior to this season t moving into their new arena. Quote

82SiouxGuy Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 Seats would probably be done near the end, when any real construction is already completed. They would probably be a finish item, like carpeting. You don't put in the finish work until near the end because you don't want it covered in dust from construction work. Quote

MafiaMan Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 Kind of amusing to see the "Target Center Upgrades" thread resurrected right around April Fool's Day... Quote
