Xcel Energy Center Print, Artist Drawn Hockey Arena, Minnesota Wild Hockey

Xcel Energy Center Print, Minnesota Wild Wall Art, Hockey Arena Art

They do not call it the State of Hockey for nothing. Xcel Energy Center wall art, drawn from center ice as the Wild celebrate a win and the X comes to its feet, with the horn and lighthouse that go off the moment Minnesota scores. In Minnesota you learn to skate before you learn to walk.

Wild on Ice

Relive Those Memorable Minnesota Wild Moments At Xcel Energy Center

In Saint Paul, hockey has given us everything—walk-off joy, tough endings, and memories that stick. I created this Xcel Energy Center wall art as a personal tribute to the Minnesota Wild moments and the place where we cheer and sometimes cry. Every line and color nods to moments that made Saint Paul believe. Whether in your home, office or fan cave, let it pull you back to your favorite Minnesota Wild memories.

“First Home Win”

Wild beat Tampa Bay 6–5 for the franchise’s first home victory.

Xcel Energy Center Print, Minnesota Wild Wall Art, Hockey Arena Art

Xcel Energy Center, Saint Paul, Minnesota. The hockey home of the Minnesota Wild.

This Xcel Energy Center print is drawn from center ice as the Wild celebrate a win, the players piled together while the X comes to its feet around them.

The building is stacked into a single frame. The Xcel Energy Center name burning red above the ice, the celebration filling the screen overhead, the banners of Minnesota hockey ringing the deck. Then the arena itself along the bottom, the curved glass lit from inside, and the crow’s nest with the lighthouse and the foghorn in it. Walk the concourse in that building and you will pass a jersey for every single high school hockey team in the state. Boys and girls. All of them. Nobody else in the league does that, because nobody else in the league would think of it.

Every Xcel Energy Center print in the architecture hockey arena series is marked in the lower right with the venue, the city and the state: Xcel Energy Center, Saint Paul, Minnesota. Available as a fine art print or a canvas wrap.

Created by Brian D. Oakes, who has spent years drawing the arenas where you show up with family and friends and end up celebrating with strangers the moment the puck enters the net. Minnesota Wild wall art for the fan who has been in that building, and a gift for the one who is still waiting to go.

My friend that I gave the Xcel Energy Center/ Minnesota Wild print to loved his Birthday gift! He thought the addition of exterior of the arena at the bottom was a really unique aspect of the print, and thought it was really cool that this was a drawing, not a photograph. Great work! I hope to receive one myself as a gift: the Dallas Stars/AA Center. It is on my wish list!

frequently asked questions

Learn more about artist Brian D. Oakes

I was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and moved to my dream city of Seattle, Washington, in 2022. My passion for architecture started in childhood, inspired by icons like the Space Needle, Chrysler Building, and Madison Square Garden. Merging my love for sports and design, I create art that captures not just the structure of a building or stadium but the energy, history, and memories it holds.

How do you create your artwork?

Each piece is crafted using a mixed-media process that combines digital sketching, watercolor painting, and architectural blueprint techniques. I work on a 28″ professional designer’s digital drawing screen with a variety of digital pencils, allowing for fine details that bring each building to life.

What’s the difference between a fine art print and a canvas wrap?

Fine art prints are flat, archival-quality giclée prints on heavyweight paper that require framing (not included). Canvas wraps are printed on durable canvas, stretched over a 1.5″ wooden frame, back-sealed with black foam core, and arrive with pre-installed hardware ready to hang.

What sizes are offered?
  • Small Prints
    Perfect anywhere — display on shelves, desks, or hung on walls.
    Sizes: 8×8, 10×10, 12×12

  • Large Prints
    Make a bold statement in any bedroom, sports room, or fan cave.
    Sizes: 16×16, 20×20, 30×30

  • Canvas Wraps
    Make your rivals jealous with a floating canvas that sparks conversation and shows team pride.
    Sizes: 10×10, 12×12, 16×16, 20×20, 30×30
What is your most popular type / size?

The most popular choice among collectors of my work is the 16×16 Canvas Wrap, with the 20×20 size right behind it. I’ve found the 16×16 to be a sweet spot — it makes a great gift, it’s big enough to stand out, but not so large that it takes over a room.

Each piece is printed on canvas and stretched around a sturdy 1.5″ frame, so it arrives ready to hang straight out of the box with no framing needed. I also offer the option to include a personalized message along the bottom edge, which many people love adding as a meaningful touch.

Can I personalize my order?

Yes! All canvas wraps can have a personalized message added to the bottom/under edge of the canvas at no additional cost. I also offer the option to customize my pieces by incorporating a client-provided reference photo into the foreground or onto the jumbotron of their favorite stadium. You can learn more about customizing your stadium print with add on options.

How long will my order take to arrive?

Once you place your order, it’s automatically sent to one of my trusted U.S.-based print partners for production, ensuring a fast and efficient process. Most orders arrive in about a week, though times can vary. Delivery times may vary during peak seasons or due to carrier delays. All pieces are designed, printed, and shipped from within the United States.

fan-inspired, artist designed

as a sports fanatic and architecture enthusiast, I have created each stadium print with fans in mind. Drawing inspiration from the history of each team, every stadium print serves as a love letter to the stadiums we’ve shared treasured memories in.

    This is absolutely awesome! So well made and looks great. I’m going to find a good looking frame to hang this up in my office. Great work Brian!

  2. John Provinzino (Verified Customer)

    This print is even more impressive in person, as compared to the first time i fell in love with it online.

  3. Josh Orloff (Verified Customer)

    Great art work! Got the collection of all my local stadiums, looks fantastic and a great addition to the man cave! 5 stars.

  4. Carol Hanson (Verified Customer)

    My son is a Vikings fan and my daughter-in-law is from Wisconsin and naturally is a Packers fan. They have a wall in their house with Vikings memorabilia on one side and Packers memorabilia on the other. These prints will fit right in. I haven’t decided on who gets the Wild one. I like it so I might just be selfish and keep it! I am anxious for Christmas to come.

    I bought the Xcel Energy Center where the Minnesota Wild Hockey team play. I love the artist’s depiction. Gave it to my Son for Christmas and he loved it too!

  7. Joan Brennhofer (Verified Customer)

    I wanted to thank you for the amazing stadium art. I had got the Twins stadium last year for my son’s birthday. He loved it. He just moved into his own house and put it up in his living room. He asked for the Wild and Vikings stadiums for his Birthday and Christmas presents this year. You had a special so I ordered them both. He is going to hang them with his first canvas. Thank you for creating something special that he loves!

  8. Sean Mckenna (Verified Customer)

    Here in Minnesota, we spend cold weather months indoors. My basement is a rec-room/T.V. area and I have large canvas photos on the walls of local sports venues. I was having trouble finding one of the local pro hockey team (MN-Wild). I found your site and since the larger sports on the walls were filled, your ten by ten print of the “XCEL Center” was perfect.

  9. Hattie Leary (Verified Customer)

    OMG!!!
    Received my Canvas wraps. I’m SO HAPPY right now! You have no idea!! Since I don’t live near my teams anymore, I teared up when I unwrapped the package.
    Your art is SPOT ON
    Process to buy is easy and seamless.
    Seriously happy with everything
    Thanks MUCH

  10. Kyle Thorstad (Verified Customer)

    Prints just arrived today and I could not be more happy! The prints look fantastic and I love all the little details included in each stadium. I am excited to get them framed and up on my wall in our office. Shipping was also very fast, appreciate it!

    I will definitely let friends and family know about your work.

  11. Troy Proper (Verified Customer)

    Just what wanted fast delivery A+++

  12. Hattie Leary (Verified Customer)

    I love your work so much! I just received my daughter’s surprise 40th birthday gift and am bummed because I have to keep it secret until November. It turned out awesome and I know it will make her cry ugly tears. SO happy I found your work and your ordering process couldn’t be easier. Clear directions and easy to follow! You rock!
