The Wild....Never....And I don't care.....They are NOT the North Stars, and will never replace them. For me, they are only a way for me to see real pro teams....like the Wings.

As for the Gophs:
7 National Championships
12 WCHA regular Season Championships
14 WCHA Tournament Championships
19 Frozen Four Appearences

1st Hobey Baker Award Winner (Neil Broten...see sig) (the "Heisman" for Mens Hockey)
4 Total Hobey Baker Award Winners
9 Gophers on 1980 Team USA "Miracle" Team.....2 more from UM-Duluth Bulldogs Plus the Coach (Herbie Brooks (R.I.P. ) for a total of 12 Minnesotans.

Mariucci Arena: Home of the Golden Gopher Mens Hockey Team



Excel Energy Center: Home of the Minnesota Wild

You are right...

Here in Indy, we have Trojan Stadium: (Home of the cow clits)

And,


of course, KY field, Home of the Southern Indiana Pig Pussies (undefeated this year)

^^^The Pig pussies are having a fantastic year. It's the Cow Clits that really got pounded by the Bulls the other night.

I hope that when we do end up building a new home for the Vikes....it's as nice as that. I'm sure it will be. Lately (in the last ~10 years), we haven't been screwing around....we have been building top-notch stadium after top-notch stadium.

Our latest two....both opened this year:

Target Field: Home of the Twinkies:


TCF Bank Stadium: Home of Gopher Football :


Both were build with beautiful views of Downtown Minneapolis.

And it's looking more and more like TCF Bank Stadium will be on Monday Night Football next week. Seats are being shoveled as we speak.....
Hopefully it will be cold enough to end talks of an outdoor stadium for the Vikes......there was a reason we put a roof (or at least tried ) on the last one. Maybe we can build an outdoor stadium for the T-Wolves......it's not like it would affect attendance.

TCF Bank Stadium:

And it is a GO!!!!

The Vikes are taking the Bears to the 'Bank". Ticket holders for the game (those that were in the Dome) will get General Admission seating, and no alcohol will be sold at the game (although, there WILL be hundreds of gallons of Hot 100 and Snow-Shoe Grog (among others) in the jacket-pockets of many of the fans....it will be VERY drunk out there).

Football aside......This will be THE Monday Night game of the year. People around here are very excited about this.....it should be pretty cool.
