In the world of interior design and architecture, few opportunities are as exhilarating as revitalizing an iconic venue. We’re thrilled to share the design work we were chosen to do at Xcel Energy Center, home of our beloved MN Wild! With immense pride, we unveil our sensational transformation of the Club Level, where creativity met functionality, and old spaces breathed new life. This project was a true labor of fast and furious design love, filled with exciting color patterns and details sure to elevate the experience for visitors. Let’s dive into the details of the transformation of this sporting and entertainment hub in St. Paul, MN.

CLUB CLASSICS GET A FRESH TWIST: C08 DELI SPACE
Our journey began by reinventing the C08 Club Classics into a fresh and inviting black and white “Deli” space. We wanted to create an environment that exuded a blend of sophistication and comfort. The result? A contemporary design that’s as visually appealing as it is welcoming. The fresh aesthetic immediately sets the tone for a delightful experience that visitors won’t soon forget. It’s a tribute to timeless deli culture, with a touch of “French bistro”, offering guests a place to relax and savor delicious treats while taking in the action. Even the carving station cart got a whole new look with quilted stainless steel panels and a really fun umbrella to tie in with the deli awning.
C14 BAR AREA TRANSFORMS INTO A SELF-SERVICE DRAFT WALL
To meet the evolving preferences of patrons, the old bar area at C14 was converted into a self-service draft wall. The goal was to create a dynamic, interactive experience. Now, visitors can have a hands-on experience with an array of craft beers and beverages. The self-service aspect adds an element of novelty, making the whole process more engaging and efficient. This transformation was a perfect example of how innovation can turn a traditional space into a contemporary hotspot.
C28 PIZZA SPACE BECOMES A SWANKY PIZZERIA
Our next challenge was to rejuvenate the C28 pizza space. The result? A swanky pizzeria adorned with cool neon signage, a Wild brick oven, brick walls, herringbone floors, all new seating and string lights. We wanted to elevate the humble pizza experience into something extraordinary. We also love how the new planter boxes add a fresh and modern focal point.
C36 WILD GRILL SPACE TRANSFORMS INTO “CITY BURGER”
The transformation of the C36 Wild Grill space was one of our most ambitious endeavors. We turned it into an eye-catching black and white tiled burger joint named “City Burger.” The sleek, monochromatic design paired with classic diner aesthetics creates a memorable, Instagram-worthy dining experience. This space is an embodiment of the lively atmosphere and fervor that is the hallmark of this sports arena.
To create a harmonious design flow that brings attention to these exciting elements, we took the bold step of painting the surrounding walls and columns black. Even the condiment stands and seating got a whole new look!

One of our favorite new things – FOOD. Wild MN Bites, the brilliant minds behind the culinary magic, have taken the food offerings to the next level this year. There are so many tasty new foods, you’ll have to try them all in multiple visits, or bring a pillow and blanket, cause you’ll want to take a nap!
We can’t wait to see these spaces come alive with the energy of the MN Wild fans and guests, making this beloved venue even more extraordinary. It’s an exciting new chapter in the journey of the Xcel Energy Center, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it!
