Minnesota Wild News – 2013 Wild Updates
At the halfway point of the NHL season, the Minnesota Wild lead the Northwest Division. With significant contributions from free-agent acquisitions — Zach Parise and Ryan Sutter — the team is on its way to the NHL Playoffs. Youngsters Charlie Coyle and Jason Zucker give us the impression that the future is bright in Minnesota. A couple more years with this team playing together and the MN Wild will be in position to win their first Stanley Cup.
Following the many additions to the Wild roster in the 2012 off-season, Minnesota Wild tickets increased 46% on the secondary market. Now averaging $111, MN Wild tickets are still under the League average. The most expensive game on the Minnesota Wild schedule is against the
Chicago Blackhawks (4/9) who started the season with the team's longest win streak in history and a 20-0-3 record.
The
Vancouver Canucks are usually the team we see at the top of the Northwest Division. Matches against the Canucks at
Xcel Energy Center averaged $100 (2/7) and $120 (3/10). The Wild's latest 4-2 win over division rival Canucks, put Minnesota third overall in the West. Unfortunately, this rivalry, which seems to be evolving, may change with the (potential) realignment.
If you're a sports fan living in Minnesota consider this — the average Wild tickets are $111,
Timberwolves tickets $41 (cheapest in
NBA), and
Twins tickets $28 (2nd cheapest in
MLB).
