“Xcel Energy Center’s New Name Sparks Controversy Among University Students: What’s Next?”
University of Minnesota students have mixed feelings about the name change.
Third-year student Neil Roy said stadium name changes are jarring.
Being from New Orleans, Louisiana, Roy said he still has not gotten over the New Orleans Saints changing their stadium from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to the Caesars Superdome.
“It ruins the nostalgia aspect of it, in my opinion,” Roy said.
Luke Wittner, a fourth-year student, said he grew up a Wild fan and finds the name change disappointing.
