Anyone have great dining experiences at arenas or stadiums?

I have spent some time in the Xcel Energy Center for various events in the past few years. Most recently at the Minnesota state high school hockey tourney, various Wild Games, Disney on Ice...

We often find ourselves arriving to dine at the Headwaters in the arena. It is great food for a decent price. They adjust the menu for the type of crowd they expect to attend the event. The kids loved it at the Disney show. It is a bit upscale for the kids for the NHL games but when it is just the wife and I it is perfect.

The Headwaters is on the club level. If you are on one of the other levels you can get a pass to gain entrance to the restaurant.

On Saturday the wife and I decided to eat dinner there rather than watch the Minnesota state high school hocke 3rd place game. We had plenty of time before the championship game.

Later talking to the brother-in-law he questioned spending so much money on dinner. I mentioned that I could spend $5 on a brat and $5 on a soda or I could spend $15 on a great high end buffet. No brainer to me.

They have a great acorn squash and maple glaze casserole. They gave me the recipe and it will be tried out on our Easter dinner guests.
