WNBA: LYNX Game!!

Our family went to a Minnesota Lynx game a month ago, and we had a great time. The MN girl's team was playing against the Tulsa Shock. We were really excited about going to the game, and this was our second game that we have attended. My daughter loves the Lynx mascot!
Caleb is a basketball fan, and he proudly wore his MN Lynx logo shirt. It was quite big on him, but he didn't mind. He was happy to support our team.
The WNBA games are family friendly. We brought our kids, and the youngest was 18 months. He had fun watching the girls play and getting in on all the action.

The MN Lynx girls played a great game, and the score was very close through the game, which made it very exciting. I love that the fans really get into cheering for those ladies. The Lynx gals work so hard, and play with excellence.
WNBA stands for Women's National Basketball Association. These ladies are hard workers, and many of them are moms doing their best at what they do! I admire the hard work and dedication they put into their career. I am sure it is hard to be on the road and being away from their family. Check out this link to see some pictures of mom pro basketball players: click here.
The WNBA games are a great place to enjoy family time together, enjoy a great competitive game, get away from the outdoor heat, have some treats, and cheer on our team! The WNBA games are great entertainment, and the players are great role models. A time out was called, and you can see that the team really works well together.

One of our new favorite players, Seimone Augustus, had scored 27 of the winning points! That is fantastic! It was really fun watching her in action, as well as the other players.

During half time, a few participants from the audience went into these over sized hamster balls to race each other. It was quite entertaining! My kids really enjoyed the half time show. The WNBA does a great job to make their games, and half time show, a treat for the whole family.
I snapped a photo of the kids next to the poster in the hallways. They had a great time at the game, and loved the LYNX logo shirts. The shirts were a little big for the kids, but they wear them as night shirts, and love to show off the Lynx team! GO LYNX!
We won the game at home (Target Center) 78-67. It was a great game, and I was super pumped that the Lynx won the game! It was a very close game, and it was great that the Lynx won the game! The two teams sure had a good fight to keep the high score, and this game was truly a nail biter! I also heard that the MN Lynx had defeated the Shock in Tulsa on the following Saturday night as well, 92-78!

MN Lynx game WNBA(Womans National Basketball Association)

I had never been to a Women's basketball game before, especially a NBA Women's game. I had the opportunity to attend a WNBA game through OnetoOne Network. Our team for Minnesota is the MN Lynx, for Women. My family and I went to the game on July 28th, 2009. The Lynx were playing against the Los Angeles Sparks.

It was an exciting game! The Lynx had a bit of a rough start to their game, but they soon "got their game on." It was fun seeing all the fun moves and fancy passes the girls did with the ball.
During the first quarter, Joe Schwei (team contact) came with goody bags for our kids! My kids loved their care packages! Inside the bag was a t-shirt, water bottle, personal photo of one of the Lynx gals, bookmark, poster, headband, and a bandanna. It was a generous gift for my kids, and they loved the treasures. Now we can "advertise" for the Lynx.
A few times during the "time-outs, or half-time" there were opportunities for participation from the crowds. The Lynx had basketball shoot-offs: one that included a trip to New York, and one that won other prizes. During half-time, the mascot: Prawl, did a toss up with t-shirts to those who could catch them. It is fun how the team and the mascot engage the fans.

The Minnesota Lynx team is a great group of women! It was fun to watch those gals in action! They are hard working, and aggressive on the court. I really thought that they sported great team work and sportsmanship.
We had great seats for the game, too! We sat in the second section up from the floor level. We had a great view, and could really enjoy the game. Madelyn loved the mascot the best. She really wanted to hug him and say hi, but he wasn't close enough to him. The game ended with the Sparks barely beating the Lynx. It was a very close game in the end, and I am glad we were able to attend this fun game! Thank you OnetoOne network and the MN Lynx for letting us help with this blogging opportunity.
