We're getting reservations at the Day's Inn on the
University of Minnesota campus.  The disadvantage is
that it's in Minneapolis and will be, worst case
scenario, about a 45-minute bus ride from the Xcel
Center; it's on the #16 line, which runs frequently
and all night.  I'm coming up with alternative plans,
which may include renting a car or taking a cab to and
from St. Paul.

The advantage is that it should be cheaper, and it has
better entertainment/bars around it.  I know everyone
has told me how wonderful the area around the Xcel
Center is now, but the couple of Wild games I've been
to have left me thoroughly underwhelmed; we'll see if
I think anything better of it tonight when I go see
the Red Wings.
