Stromer Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Not sure where to put this thread so I'll try it here. I have never been to the XCEL but I am planning on making the trip for the Final Five (now that I am convinced we have turned the season around). I am debating about getting tickets in the lower bowl on the corners or in the club level on the end of the arena. If anyone who has been there could give info, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojordan23 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I have only been to the X once, last year's Final 5, and we were in the club seats, which I thought were great. I also went down to the lower bowl to visit people I knew, and I agree, there really isn't a bad seat in that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't call that a nice seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Almost anywhere in the lower bowl is excellent IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windsor Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Rail seats in the club level is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I agree with the "any seat is good" comments. If you go to hockey games you understand the risk of sitting too low in the corners and depending where you are trying to look through the glass/posts to the other end of the rink. I sat in the end club level seats for the Frozen Four in 2002 and those are excellent seats. You get a great perspetive on the action from that angle/height.

Sioux-cia Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 We have lower bowl, corner seats and are happy with them. We did think about switching to club level but we need 8 together which is hard to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 club seats are the best. We have our seats there and we sit on the goal line of the north end of the arena. There are smaller crouds for the bathroom and the beer lines are short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxfan09 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I got reserved seats in the upper deck....anyone ever sat up there??? Are they good seats?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthDakotaHockey Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I got reserved seats in the upper deck....anyone ever sat up there??? Are they good seats?? We have reserveds in the upper deck, behind the goal. Nice railing to lean on. They are high, but good seats. Best things about 'em. Inexpensive. We can often move down, at least when the Gophers are not playing. And, we set next to probably the thinnest skinnest Gopher fans that the world will ever know. Great fun in the upper deck. Just like being in the lowest decks on the Titanic. Living and breathing with the proletariat. Solid hockey fans on a limited budget. Last year, some Sioux student fans joined us and we had the times of our lives. Especially with LaDonny and the Gophers dropping two, and the thin skins telling us to watch out, the Gophers would go on a roll in the NCAAs. They went on a roll all right. Rolled right over. Season over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runninwiththedogs Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 We have lower bowl, corner seats and are happy with them. We did think about switching to club level but we need 8 together which is hard to get. Our corner is AWESOME!!!! I don't know if we'll be there this year, because we did ask for an upgrade to be closer to UMDDogz and my dad, but we aren't exactly at the top of the priority list for them. WHEN ARE MY TICKETS COMING??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I got reserved seats in the upper deck....anyone ever sat up there??? Are they good seats??
