Sports and leisure activities St. Paul

A multi-sport venue that opened in 2000 and can seat up to 18,000 people. During the field hockey season, be sure to catch a game of the Minnesota Wild, who call the Xcel Energy Center (nicknamed the "X") home, along with the Minnesota Swarm, La Crosse's team. The venue also hosts conventions and concerts, with Madonna and Shania Twain among the artists who have performed there. The stadium is conveniently located and within walking distance of downtown and the Light Rail stop.

It is the city's brand new stadium, open since 2015. It was built to replace the aging Midway Stadium that opened in 1982. This is now the venue for baseball games, as well as for municipal sports and athletic activities and high school training. The atmosphere is very friendly, especially during baseball games. We sit on the bleachers, watch the players move, then we go get a burger, a Coke, we come back and it's game time.
