NATIONWIDE ARENA
COLUMBUS, OHIO
COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS
This brand new arena in downtown Columbus is the anchor for the emerging Arena
District, already burgeoning with shops, restaurants and hotels. The venue is spectacular,
from its nostalgic brick and stone veneer to its sweeping concourses with blue mood
lighting and modern amenities. The arena bowl has state of the art scoreboards and
surround LED graphics boards which look 21st century high tech. With a separate
practice rink built right in the facility, theme restaurants and great food selection, not to
mention a raucous hockey atmosphere, this NHL venue is a must see!
XCEL ENERGY CENTER
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA
MINNESOTA WILD
This place is a hockey arena, plain and simple. Being located in America's hockey hotbed
state, this arena is full of symbols and memorabilia which personifies the role that hockey
plays in the culture of the state. For example once inside the seating area you will see an
organ that looks like a zamboni. When a Wild player scores a goal a flashing light goes off
in the mold of a lighthouse, a symbol of Minnesota's naval history in the Great Lakes.
When walking the concourses, get a gander at the display of all the high school jerseys in
the state. Similar to Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, this building takes full
advantage of the sate's strong history and takes it to the hilt!
WACHOVIA CENTER
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Superior design elements include a cigar store and microbrewery, a TV studio for
Comcast built right into the concourse, a deluge of interactive displays and games, a
seating bowl that is pleasing to the eye, and fan amenities galore to make your day here
memorable. Flyers fans fill this place and are pretty intimidating to boot... all adds to the
festive atmosphere. Easily one of the premier NHL experiences.
SAVVIS CENTER
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
ST. LOUIS BLUES
Do you bleed Blue? The Savvis Center sure does! The colors of the Blues franchise are
found everywhere, and we mean EVERYWHERE, in this building. Tributes to Blues
heroes can be found wherever you look, and fan amenities include restaurants at each
level of the arena. Vibrant downtown setting and attractions all within walking distance.
Easy to see why St. Louis was named "Best Sports City" in America.
