Minnesota Wild History
The state of Minnesota was without an NHL franchise for seven years after the 1993 departure of the North Stars. That void was filled when the city of Saint Paul landed the Wild as an expansion team in 2000. Hall of Famer Jacques Lemaire took over as the franchise's first head coach.
The Wild advanced to the Western Conference Final in 2002-2003 behind the play of right wing Marián Gáborík, and has gone on to post a winning record in almost every season since. Starting with the 2012-2013 season, Minnesota reached the postseason six consecutive times.
Center Mikko Koivu spent his entire NHL career with the Wild and is the franchise's all-time leader in games played, points and assists. In 2022, the Wild retired Koivu's jersey, the first player in franchise history to have a jersey retired. Overall, the Wild has qualified for the Playoffs 13 times in its history.

We had a great time seeing the Wild game - every employee we encountered was extremely nice and helpful Will gladly attend again when in the Twin Cities
Loved the bar top seating. Great view too! Only thing i noticed was the draft is pretty chilly and cold. It would be a great idea to dress a little warmer if buying these seats. I'll definitely be back in that area again.
Been to the X many times for games & concerts. Great building, good sightlines, and good staff. But I had the most uncomfortable seats that I have ever sat in. We paid a decent amount to to sit in the lower bowl for a Wild game (9 rows from the glass) for a birthday gift. These seats were smaller than "regular"seats, so we were uncomfortable the whole night. The seats behind us and 2 seats over were all standard seats, so no idea why they couldn't do the same. I discovered that we were in an area where the seats are movable, but no reason they were different sizes. So before spending big money for tickets, check the location!!
Had really great seats…best I’ve ever had. Great game and the experience was easy.
The seats that we had for the game gave us a good view of the ice, but compared to other stadiums and arena's that we have been to for sporting events the seats seemed really cramped.
While our time at the back to back games was fun the seats we purchased were not as requested. My sister in law is on oxygen and cannot do many stairs. I explained this to Curtis at the Arena ticket office and was assured we wouldn’t have to climb a lot of stairs. The rows started at 10 where we came in but our seats were in row 3 both nights. Not a lot of stairs for some but a lot for us. Seats should have been in row 10 or 9. Customer Service was very good getting us a wheelchair for my sister in law and got us to our section. If you need special seating the salespeople need to be more aware of how those seats can be accessed. Other than that we had a good time
Drove 7 hours and spent a Wack of change to see Flurry but Gus was starting. But my hope was complete when Mcdavid and the oilers chased Gus after the second. Finally saw the legend in the third. Great people and amazing staff. A highly recommended event for all
I had a great time and the Wild won can't get any better than that .
Xcel energy Center awesome place to watch hockey great atmosphere great people had a great time there definitely going back.
