National Sports Center, Blaine Minnesota

Today, I went to the National Sports Center in Blaine, MN for the first time, to watch a couple girls High School hockey Schwan's Cup tournament games. I'd never been down there to the complex and it's even better than I thought it would be, even though the CEC (Cloquet) girls lost to Benilde St. Margaret's 1-0.

The parking lot is nice and large, the rinks aren't bad to watch games in..and the lobby is great, with viewing windows to all 4 ice sheets in the SSR (Schwan's Super Rinks).. the concession stand is nice also.

I was told it's even better in the summer when there's soccer etc going on, so there might be plans for a trip down there to look around during summer daylight sometime.
