Tonight we went to the MN Wild select-a-seat in an attempt to find some nicer seats to upgrade to (not that ours are bad at all), but we didn't find anything better.  There were two open seats one row down from us, but we liked the angle of our seats better.  Ours are just behind one of the goal lines on the side of the arena and it's a great vantage point to see plays develop and goals scored.

I brought along our camera just for fun, and got a few good pictures.  All of the pictures can be viewed in the 2005 select-a-seat gallery, but some highlights are below.

Perhaps two of the most interesting sights there were of the modifications they've made to the arena for the new rules this season.  The goals have been moved back toward the boards, and some red lines have been added to define a zone behind the goals where goalies are limited to play the puck:

Fresh concrete footings for the new goal mooring positions.

New zone lines behind the goal.

Other than that, the rest are just kinda fun:
