Minnesota Wild

A few weeks ago Dan, through work, won some awesome tickets to a Minnesota Wild game.  It was my first official NHL game. Dan was an old pro, a month into his new job he got to sit in the General Mills Executive Box. He really had a tough time adjusting to the seats. All through the night he couldn't help but compare the seats to the box. Even though the were awesome seats there were not comfy seats, free catering, and a desert cart with 4x layer carrot cake (Dan's favorite).
Hockey is very big here and it seems all the kids play. Instead of seeing boys carrying pads for football they carry hockey sticks and huge hockey bags.

The atmosphere in the arena was crazy and extremely loud. The Xcel center is the newest arena in the state and has all the amenities one would want. We sat next to one of Dan's coworkers. We both didn't understand much and spent most of the time talking. 

Go Wild!!


They ended up loosing in the last 5 min of the game. It was a great game and I could definitely get used these kind of perks.

Minnesota sounds a lot like Alaska. Hockey is much bigger than football there. I love how Jessica wore her winter coat and scarf to the game. She will always be a Florida girl!

We're looking forward to seeing you this weekend!
