TicketHold | Xcel Energy Center Seating Chart Guide – Best Seats & Views

Your Ultimate Guide to Navigating the Xcel Energy Center

The Xcel Energy Center, home to the Minnesota Wild and a premier venue for concerts and events, offers a dynamic seating experience. With a capacity of 18,000+, its bowl-style design ensures excellent sightlines, but choosing the right seat depends on your priorities—budget, proximity, or luxury.

Seating Chart Breakdown

• Lower Level (Sections 101-132): Closest to the action, ideal for hockey games and concerts. Rows 1-10 offer unparalleled views but come at a premium price. Higher rows may have slight overhang obstructions.
• Club Level (Sections C1-C37): Mid-range pricing with cushioned seats, exclusive lounges, and concessions. Perfect for balance between comfort and view quality.
• Upper Level (Sections 201-232): Budget-friendly with steep angles. Avoid rows 15+ for vertigo-sensitive guests. Center sections (213-217) provide the best elevation for panoramic views.

Best Seats for Events

• Hockey: Near the blue lines (Sections 110-113, 120-123) for optimal gameplay views.
• Concerts: Center Lower Level (Sections 118-120) or Club Level for direct stage sightlines.

VIP & Accessibility

• Suites: Private boxes with catering and premium amenities. Ideal for groups.
• Accessibility: Wheelchair-accessible seating in all levels. Contact guest services for assistance.
