“Our in-arena experience is designed for the fans...” said John Maher, vice president of brand, content and communications for the Minnesota Wild. And those fans have spoken. Tuesday we found out that the Minnesota will ditch Joe Satriani’s “Crowd Chant” for Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.”
After a survey was sent out to season ticket holders, the song, which was debuted as a tribute in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup First Round against the Stars in April, was voted on and adopted. Provincial Minnesotans see the song selection as a natural fit because the song tributes the late local artist, but it should appeal to fans that the Wild now has something uniquely Minnesota.
