Anyone Else go on any roadtrips?

      With a lull in the action right now,  just kind of waitng for the schedule to come out,  I thought I might share an experience and ask Wild fans for a little help in a new experience

                          As well as being a partial season ticket holder, a small group of friends and I have started to attend one Wild road game a year.  This season will be year three.  So far we have done Chicago and St. Louis  First we went to Chi. Obviously a great city to visit, but throw in a Wild win along with it happening to be the weekend tha Bears were hosting the Saints in the NFC Championship game, it was Awesome.  Lots rowdy Cajuns mixed in with a bunch Alcoholic Minnesotans, great time.  Last year we went to St. Louis,  I know, you think...."St. Louis...Blah, but it actually is pretty cool little town as long as you stay west of the river.  We stayed at the Adam''s Mark Hotel.  I would recommend it if you go,  it's right accross the street from the Arch and everything else,other than the Bud Brewery, including Scottrade Center, is within an easy walking distance.

            Scottrade is a cool Arena,  when you walk around the concourse they have life sized pictures of all the "Blues Hall of Fame" players, they call them Blues Heroes including the likes of Al Arbour, Bernie Federko, Brian Sutter and Jacques Plante among many others.  The Fans at the game are great, Just like in Chicago they all wanted to talk about the old days and memories of the old North Star players.

              I was wondering if anyone else has gone to any road games and if they have any recommendations.    The idea from the start was to hit all the old Norris Div. teams first and next up is Detroit,  but I think I might change that plan and visit the Winnepeg Jets Franchise down in sunny Phoenix this year instead,  kind of tired the cold weather teams for now.  Detroit might be a little easier this year to get tickets becouse the Mich. economy is struggling,  but then again what the F---- is there to do in Detoilet other than the game, maybe get shot at Chellie's Chili Bar, but who knows I wasn't all the geefed about St. Louie either.  any recommendations and experiences would be great to hear.    Thanks
