So, the Xcel is obviously one of the newest and nicest arenas in the National Hockey League. It might be new by the standards of buildings, but it needs some updates.
I wouldn't say many updates, I would just say the scoreboard. It is small, old and outdated and really just needs to be replaced. So the fact of the matter is, the Wild/Xcel need a new scoreboard and display.

Arena Experience
The Wild's arena experience has really dulled down, although it may be good, it used to be the best. The Xcel Energy Center was voted the top arena experience I believe in 2008. They really need to update this, as well.
They need to bring the organ back, and make it have a more traditional old time hockey experience. This is what they are aiming for, right? Old Time Hockey? I want to see the organ come back and the organist sit back in his zamboni/organ thing. Get him out of the press box. Less music, more old-school organ.
Well that's really all I have to say at the time. Discuss.
