Minnesota Lynx History
The Minnesota Lynx are an American professional basketball team in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The Lynx joined the WNBA as an expansion team in 1999 and have since become one of the league's most successful franchises, winning four WNBA championships in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017. Along with their league-best four titles, the Lynx have set multiple WNBA records including largest margin of victory in a single game (59 points), most rebounds both in a season and all-time by 2017 MVP Sylvia Fowles and most wins in both regular season and playoff history by three-time WNBA Coach of the Year Cheryl Reeve, who began leading the team in 2010. The Lynx have retired the jersey numbers for Fowles, Lindsay Whalen, Rebekkah Brunson and Seimone Augustus, with plans to retire 2014 WNBA MVP Maya Moore’s No. 23 during the 2024 regular season.??

Fam appreciation night was great my Daughter was so happy to meet the Lynx players even if it was just to get autographs
The staff was not knowledgable. Asked about the family pack they didnt know what we needed to do after game. Never got our coupon or photo. Xcel was ok. Love Target Center better. Huge fan but bad experience at the game with staff.
The crowd was pumped up and the music and MC kept it there! There were lots of giveaways of Tshirts and we got a water bottle on the way in and a yogurt drink on the way out. The game was fun to watch and the action just kept moving. We're planning on going again several times next summer!
The MN Lynx are simply the best! Even with the loss vs the Sparks they were fun and exciting to watch! Certainly not their best play but still almost came back. Excel staff was super too!
We had a great time!! It had been 15 years since I've seen a Lynx game and coming back was better than before. The announcer really made it fun and got the crowd going. Fun for my 11 year old son who loves basketball. Lynx are a great bunch!
first game I've seen in person. I'm wondering if this is a typical game for the Lynx. If so, I wonder what the rest of the league looks like. It seemed to me that offensive rebounds, passing, and setting up plays were pretty non-existant to so so. It seemed to me, Lynsey had a hard time getting her teammates fired up. Much of the game Atlanta gave them all the game they could handle. Thankfully, the 4th quarter proved to be a different Lynx team on the floor. No idea what factors played into this game and will be anxious to see another game against a better team. Still, they stepped up when they had to and showed me they are a well coached team that doesn't quit.
I'm originally from the United Kingdom and had family visiting from abroad. They wanted to have a true American sports experience, so I decided upon baseball and basketball. Our baseball game was a disaster, rain delayed for almost five hours. The basketball, however, was phenomenal. The game itself was hugely entertaining, but what impressed me even more, was the presentation. As soon as the event began, right through to the end, barely a second went by without something worth watching. Clearly a serious amount of planning and effort goes into these events. It's way, way more than just the game itself. Our group of six know very little about basketball, age-range 12-63, male and female, and... EVERYONE had a great time. The music, lights, video board... all the extra stuff going on at all times, all presented brilliantly. I unreservedly recommend this as a great night out. Want another reason? The Lynx are an outstanding team. The best. Awesome women with a great attitude, worthy of your support.
We enjoy the Lynx winning record and another year of winning.
Loved the game.............also loved the Wisconsin brats. Can't get those good brats at Target Center. Maybe they will be there after the remodel is finished.
First time attending a Lynx game. I took my adult daughters and 4 year old granddaughter. Kid friendly, fun event. I would definitely go again.
