There is plenty of curiosity about what the city of Mankato and Minnesota State will do if and when they remodel the Verizon Wireless Center. For sure, they could take a few cues from what Bemidji's done with the Sanford Center. Here are a few low-quality photos taken Friday and Saturday night:
 |
| A video/replay scoreboard hangs over center ice. |
 |
| A view from the press box, which is also suite level. |
 |
| The club room/bar overlooks one end of the rink. |
 |
| The student section is surrounds the glass at one end of the ice. |
 |
| A view from one of the arena suites. |
 |
| A concourse wall with interactive video screens. |
 |
| The in-arena store where you can get BSU gear. |
 |
| The doors to the Beavers' locker room. |
 |
| The hallway to the BSU coaches' offices. |
 |
| The walls are adorned with pictures of NHL players and All-Americans. |
 |
| BSU's weight room, as seen from outside the arena. |
 |
| The hall from the bench to the BSU locker room. |
 |
| Another shot of that hall. |
 |
| Team photos outside the Beavers locker room. |
 |
| One of a few walls of fame in the BSU area. NHL guys, All-Americans, etc. |
 |
| The $8 prime rib sandwich available in the concourse. |

Nice story on the Sanford Center! Sure glad we are the only Bemidji State! Its confusing trying to follow two "Minnesota State" schools!
Yes, a very nice story. Doesn't mention that the city is struggling to keep the place open and the hockey teacm is nearly $300,000 in debt, in part because of the $200,000 rent they pay for the arena . . .
