Anywhere that it can be a combination hockey trip and winter vacation should work. I don't have much desire to visit Seattle in October- April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I mentioned this before, Phoenix should of been the location for MN HoF game. Both U's have a ton of alumni there, fill a bigger arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if 5,000 fans are from each team, one teams 5,000 and we bring 10 to 12,000, what an atmosphere. That would be with over 15,000 fans? There would be some good interaction of the crowd. LV had none of this. If you want interaction, go to an away game. Frankly, I am glad I didn’t have to deal with more gopher fans. Had enough bad experiences on road trips to Minneapolis to last a lifetime! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher fans I ran into in Vegas were all quite nice, but they knew they were greatly outnumbered, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Seattle would be a mistake. Wrong time of year to visit, corner of the country, 3rd world traffic, I could go on. Here's a dark horse: Kansas City. Sprint Center is in the Power and Light District so fun is nearby. Midwest with easy access by driving or flying. Venue is top notch and begging for more utilization with no major tenant. Only question is who should the opponent be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burd Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I like the Chicago idea. Good rink options, easy fly-in destination, a lot to do in town, and we've recruited from that area in the past. Maybe fans would get a chance to see three former Sioux playing together for the other Hawks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxforcefans Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'd like to see the destinations kept warm, with as few repeats as possible. Las Vegas was fun, but I don't care if I ever go back to Vegas. Seattle was gross last time I was there - and that was in June. Maybe the rain in the winter would at least keep the pot smoke down? Really looking forward to Nashville. I like the idea of AZ. Dallas would even appeal more to me than a cold weather destination, tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I don't know bout you guys, but I think Buffalo, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Boston would be great places for "destination" games in the next few years!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InHeavenThereIsNoBeer Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I honestly wouldn't be opposed to MTS Centre in Winnipeg again. I always enjoy taking weekend trips up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first trip to Vegas for my wife and I and we had a good time, but I don't see us going back any time soon. We went to the outdoor game in Omaha (which doesn't really count as a destination game) and NYC and enjoyed both. We're really looking forward to Nashville and I'd like to see a few more fresh destinations before we start recycling - Tampa (or elsewhere in Florida), DC, somewhere on the West Coast or AZ all sound nice.

New York and Vegas both draw travelers on their own and offer a lot to tourists. DC (capital tourism) and Orlando (Disney, Universal, beach) would be great. Not sure Seattle would have that draw. I was out there for the UW football game earlier this year (admittedly a slightly different time of the year which could make a small difference) and loved it. There is a ton to do in the downtown and surrounding areas. Would definitely go back again. I do agree to your point that it isn't NYC or DC for "tourist" destination but what is.
