Minnesota Wild Tickets

The Minnesota Wild brought the NHL back to the State of Hockey in 2000. They play at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, one of the most atmospheric arenas in the league, with a passionate fan base rooted in Minnesota's deep hockey tradition.

The Minnesota Wild joined the NHL in 2000, bringing top-level hockey back to the "State of Hockey" after the North Stars relocated to Dallas in 1993. Playing at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul — not Minneapolis proper, but the Twin Cities' NHL home — the Wild play in one of the most atmospherically unique arenas in the league, shaped like a lake cabin inside and designed to evoke Minnesota's north woods character. The Wild's fan base reflects the deep grassroots hockey culture of a state that produces more NHL players per capita than any US state. Players like Kirill Kaprizov have energized the franchise in the 2020s, and the Wild are regular playoff contenders in the stacked Central Division. The rivalry with the Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks are key Central Division matchups.
