Tech Geeks Rejoice! New Minnesota Wild App for iPhone

Word from Wild HQ is there is a new, fancy iPhone app to "help fans go Wild."

I love Public Relations.

The app looks to be pretty cool (details in the release after the jump), with ways to order food, in stadium instant replays (very cool), in arena social media, maps of the X, and of course the basics of news and information about the team.

We're not here to shill for the Wild, but if you have an iPhone, go download the app (it's free) and report back, would you? Some of us aren't cool enough to have an iPhone. Or really cool enough to have anything for that matter.

Full release and details. After the jump.
