The return of live events to downtown Saint Paul is being noticed and our city is energized because of them. Listen closely and you might just catch the excitement...
 

The thrill of the crowd the first time a musician takes the stage.

The buzzing of the show floor as customers are delighted to learn about the "latest product" from one of their favorite companies.

The sound of the goal horn, as the Minnesota Wild puts the first puck in the net at the first game of the season.

Motivational walk-in music being played, as attendees fill the ballroom waiting to be inspired about the latest developments in their field. 

Hands clapping, as money is raised for a deserving organization during a live auction. 

 

These are the sounds you hear now on the regular in the venues on our campus. Despite the breathtaking windows of Xcel Energy Center, the beautiful architecture of Saint Paul RiverCentre, and the historic charm of The Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium, our venues are nothing without the people inside of them and the sounds, energy, and inspiration that come from live events.

In just 5 short weeks, our campus of venues has been bustling again and we are excited for what's next.
