“We have enjoyed playing exhibition games at Concordia College and the College of St. Benedict's over the past three years,” said Lynx Executive Vice President Roger Griffith. “Those settings created a fun, exciting atmosphere for the games. The move to the University of Minnesota is an indication of the increased interest surrounding our team. Last year, we literally ran out of space at Concordia, and we are looking forward to a larger, even more enthusiastic crowd for this year's preseason game.”
Minnesota’s game at the Sports Pavilion will be their third on the campus of the University of Minnesota. Previously the Lynx had played at Williams Arena in 2005 and the Sports Pavilion in 2006. In addition to their games in Minneapolis, the Lynx have played preseason games throughout the greater Minnesota area, including games in Mankato (1999), Rochester (2000, 2003), St. Joseph (2009) and St. Paul (2010, 2011).
