Wild to NOT host game at REA.

Wild Blogger Brad Ratgen from hockeybuzz.com is reporting that there will be no exhibition hockey games at the REA.
Training camp opens September 20, 2008 in Grand Forks North Dakota due to the fact that Xcel Energy Officials will have to put the hockey arena back together again once the Republicans are done trashing it earlier in September for their National Convention.

Pre-Season Games are as follows:

Wednesday, September 24, 2008: Columbus at Minnesota

Friday, September 26, 2008: Minnesota at Chicago

Sunday, September 28, 2008: Minnesota at Buffalo

Tuesday, September 30, 2008: Chicago at Minnesota

Wednesday, October 1, 2008: Buffalo at Minnesota

Friday, October 3, 2008: Minnesota at Columbus

Saturday, October 4, 2008: Minnesota at Montreal

So, 3 home games and 4 away. No "home" games away from St. Paul i.e. North Dakota or elsewhere. Should be interesting. Go Wild!

  1. I think they're afraid the team will get too used to the luxury at the Ralph!

  2. I was hoping that they would have at least a game or two up here. I went to the game last year at the REA and it was pretty good. Sat right behind the penalty boxes.
