To give you an idea what the view of the ice is like from section 106, here is a Youtube video shot from there during a fight at a Wild/St. Louis Blues game.
It doesn't get much better than these seats, truthfully. It was in the dead corner of the ice and the Wild shot on this side of the ice during the 1st and 3rd periods so for that reason, you will see a lot of season ticket holders in the surrounding sections. Not until you sit this close to the ice do you learn how big and fast these guys are; especially Heatley and Falk. You will love this arena if you've never been here. The Xcel hosts many hockey games, not just NHL either; college and high school which would be a real treat for the younger guys. If you're looking for a place to drink before the game, check out Philips Old Time Hockey Lounge, you'll be able to choose from a huge selection of alcohol there.
