Speculation: Xcel Energy Center - Upgrades/Updates + Arena Experience

[MuckOG]

I'm not a huge fan of the piped in music, but I love it when they crank Hammerfall's "The Fury of the Wild". Do they play that before the 3rd period of every home game?

We should just hire Frank Klepacki. One of the most underrated artists in the world, would be FAR cheaper and more original than Avicii and he can produce some kick-ass tracks. If you've played Command&Conquer, you know the guy.

Imagine Wild stepping to the ice with something like this playing in the background:



Striking fear to the hearts of the opponents.

Music is better this year, but a major problem is them playing it does nothing. People clap for a few seconds and as soon as play starts it goes silent.

They also haven't played some of the "motivational" videos this year they did last year. Major letdown because that ALWAYS got people amped.

The home crowd needs to be trained to be louder and less minnesota nice.

Agreed, old time hockey!

I don't even have to hit play. Hell March is a classic, get your blood levels going tune.

Air guitar central before C&C game loads and music is blasting !!!

Oh god, right in the nostalgia.

You know what we should do? Whenever Chicago comes to town and we score a goal, we should have someone behind the Chicago bench with a boom box play Chelsea Dagger backwards with the volume turned up.

If there is special music for entrance it has to at least begin with orchestral music.

Something like.

O Fortuna.



In Pori (Haulas junior club) they have a cool entrance, first comes "Also sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss followed by "Touch & Go" from Emerson, Lake & Powell.



You could get Hans Zimmer, Vangelis, Trevor Jones, James Horner etc to compose an original piece.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

No O Fortuna, one of the most over-used pieces.

Just an example, has to have the same effect.

I always loved the beginning of cochise by audioslave. when the guitar starts, ah man it just gets me pumped up.

 

[tomgilbertfan]

All my pump-up songs are at least 20 minutes long

 

[grN1g]

All i care about is new screens for next year, or i will be really disappointed.

 

[rynryn]

if i were in charge I'd hire chicks in bikinis to fly jetpacks around the arena during tv timeouts to drop beef jerky and beer on the crowd. could have green and red smoke coming out of the jetpacks. bet no one else has that.

So many hours spent playing C&C w/ 9800 baud modem.

I sure hope these chicks are skinny. If not your sentence would be my worst nightmare

like where your head is at

I don´t know how well it would fit but this song gets me pumped up whetever I am doing the dishes or at the gym.

Everything from Step from Hell rocks. I have 5 or 6 on my iPod for lifting.

Russo on 'Wild Minute' today referring to the Verizon Center Scoreboard:

Hopefully one day soon we will have one like that at the X, talked to Craig Leopold the other day and he said it is definitely in the works so that's good.

HAHA getting pumped to do the dishes.

There is a problem with the crowd sitting like in a church, the team should also show more intensity, maybe that will win people over?

 

[Avder]

The Wild really needs to do something about the crowd. There has to be some way to train the season ticket holders to get loud and passionate.
