radionews Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Haven't been to the Final Five since '99 at the Target Center. Where is a good spot to go between the games Friday & Saturday? Can't imagine it would be too fun to stay at the "X" between the games...... Quote
WPoS Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 bars will be PACKED by the X....FYI...that is why I plan on tailgating! WPoS Quote
Snake Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 There should be plenty of activity at Tom Reid's or McGovern's. They're a block or two down from the X. Quote
radionews Posted March 9, 2004 Author Posted March 9, 2004 where will this tailgating take place? i am from "up nort" and don't know teh metro very good and this will be my first trip to the "X". NOte to beerdarts guy, would love to play it with my buddies but our wives say no.......we will someday, yes yes we will. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Tom Reid's is a fun place. I was there after a couple Wild games this year...wearing a Sioux jersey along with my friend. It is a cool place and a few blocks from the arena. Maybe Frank Mazzacco and his hairpiece will make an appearance. He probably knows better though as all WCHA fans other than Goofie fans hate him and the Wooger. Quote
MinnesotaNorthStar Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 To find Gopher tailgate...look for a large group of people wearing hideous maroon and gold jersies...there will be a few good looking green and white ones in the mix. Also, sharp objects (aka darts) will be being thrown at beer cans. Quote
01grad Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 I think I was at McGoverns last year between games and it was a blast, can't remember though for sure. Perhaps that is why I just now have restored my funds to enable me to do it again. I can't wait! The X will be my home away from home starting this week with High School hockey, then the Wild and then 5 college games!!! Seriously though I remember hearing that the majority of Sioux fans gathered at Great Waters Brewery. They had a post game celebration one of the nights scheduled, though there wasn't much to celebrate last year. Quote
radionews Posted March 9, 2004 Author Posted March 9, 2004 I must quit reading this stuff about how fun next weekend! I am getting nothing done and work and the countdown to next thursday is going soooooo slow! Quote
DamStrait Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Umm, let's not count any chickens before they've hatched... Quote
Greyeagle Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Depends what you are looking for regarding food/atmosphere. There are several great places to eat across Rice Park from the X: Kincaids, Pazzaluna, & The St. Paul Grill to name three. I would recommend going to this site for more information. Quote

We should propose an establishment as the official Sioux hangout between games for any Sioux fan interested. It's always a great time to enjoy adult beverages with avid Sioux fans. Great Waters Brewery sounds good to me, but I'm always open to other suggestions. Quote
radionews Posted March 10, 2004 Author Posted March 10, 2004 i'm all for an unofficial official sioux fan hang out!!!! anyone else?? Quote

BTW - They have cheap beer and the best Coney's in the Twin Cities - so I'm only half kidding. Quote
MafiaMan Posted March 11, 2004 Posted March 11, 2004 The Gopher Bar! Ha ha! That's right down the road from where I work. A place I might suggest that is a little further walk than Tom Reid's is a jaunt in the other direction of 7th Street...Wild Tymes. Quote
