[maamemaafo]

do they do wwe

[yoface459]

i feel bad for lady gaga knowing that it was a republican arena. but its the fans that matter not the republicans

[Dreyfus03]

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

republicans

[StanBennet]

Why do events keep as much of the hockey boards up as possible? Why don't they take them all down instead of trying to keep as much up as possible?

[MINwildfan15]

going to there in January. see the sharks play the wild. Its a hockey rink too retard.

[irtimed]

Goin there to see NEIL YOUNG TONIGHT!

[mad05963]

wow GOP has the same theme song as HotforWords

[AlAsadOromo]

looks like the almighty Allah(SWT) has put a "rain" on ur parade.

[KCorr82]

Looking at this makes me so excited for NKOTB, concert!!! I know it has nothing to do with the Replication convention, lol!

[hopwow1]

Obama is a worthless deusche bag... tell me again what a community organizer does exactly???

[gt40f]

""Obama is a worthless deusche bag... tell me again what a community organizer does exactly???""

Jesus was a community organizer, Pontus Pilate was sort of like a governor.

Obama worthless?

He has a magna-cum-laude doctorate of law, he worked his way up from the bottom

McLame? born into a family of admirals, graduated 5th from the bottom in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy.

Palin? Took her 6 years and 6 different schools to get a Bachelors in journalism LOL!!

[iiHDZx]

@gt40f Look at America now.

[richdawginthehouse]

Screw the Democrats and obama.

[reggabwolb]

A loser convention hall for a loser political party.

[gunjin22]

hehe :) RallyForTheRepublic. com VS. GOP Convention - which shall reign supreme?

[horselover0013]

Very Cool! I am proud of our great city! St Paul rocks!!!

[vinnym24]

Ron Paul!

[crazycarman]

Xcel capacity on Wiki - 18064

Target Center capacity on Wiki - 19000

Ron Paul's rally will kick the GOP party's ass!

[nlundbohm]

Considering that the Wild and the U of M Gophers have seated over 19,000 for hockey games in the past, and the rink will be out making room for another couple thousand...pretty sure that means your numbers and logic is flawed.

[crazycarman]

I'm just going off of Wikipedia, that's all. But you must be much more informed than I am about capacity. Do you have any proof of that? I've been to plenty of events where it seemed like there were much more people than were actually there. Doesn't really matter though.... we're still gonne kick the GOP Convention's ass!

[MINwildfan15]

are u kidding me? Ive been there 4 times and it only seats 18,000. It even a has a slogan ( Team of 18,000)

[musikmasteralpha]

hihihi it's so tiny :)

[psaulosi]

its a cool "inside" video showing that small things are already happening in what will be an historic venue.

[hybridtechowns]

im just glad it wasnt the Dem convention, hildawg prolly woulda taken my seaston tickets and given them to a less fortunate non hockey fan, then still made me pay

but im jking

pretty cool to see what they can do with the X during a non hockey event

and lets not make this a fighting thread, umm, yeah, to all you negative ppl out there, GRRR at you

[sfortuna]

May this concentrated black hole of greed, myopia, fear and general suckiness that is the RNC be devoured by Godzilla, in karmic retribution for destroying his planet.

[celts71]

Dear HUGE Hate-Spewing Liar,

Well,.....thats all that needed to be said.

Sincerely,

Normal Americans

[wanshei]

hahaha great post! "concentrated black hole of myopia, fear and greed..." hahaha you named it brudda!

[bunks275]

leave the Xcel alone. now training camp has to start in North Dakota

[snicksim]

noooooooooooooooooooob

[RickyCGOP]

Awesome!

[WaffleBakingStar]

This is awesome. =]

[terrywood02]

Thanks for ripping apart my hockey arena. IF you break anything, I can promise the team of 18000 will be breaking bones. :-) In all seriousness though, I am a democrat but I welcome the RNC to Minnesota and hope all of the visitors have a wonderful and productive time free of any negative incidents. No matter what, its always a pleasure to see democracy in action!

[WaffleBakingStar]

They'll pay for what they break, I assure you.

[hybridtechowns]

im more worried about the protesters throwing mollys or bricks

i think all wild fans should be involved with the protective cordon

[truthforamerica]

Awesome! This is much better to see than anything a crazy left wing party like the Democrats puts out.

[shiezoli]

i can't wait i wish i can be there
