So how does someone have a date for a 2005 WNBA game? Could this be correct, I haven't heard boo about scheduling. |
I have season tickets to the Lynx and have not heard or received any news on a schedule yet. I'm not sure why the person is focusing on the game with the Sparks if this is only the game they are selling tickets for. Strange.

That makes sense if other games are up there.
It will be interesting to see if anyone buys any of the tickets since they are easy to come by. There were still quite a few empty seats for the CT game last year when Lindsay came and I would guess fewer people will come this year just to see her.

| It will be interesting to see how many people will come to see Lindsay's Gopher jersey retired before the game on Sunday, Jan 2. I haven't seen it advertised much, but I haven't been looking, either. I ended up with pretty crappy tickets so maybe the Barn will be pretty full.

| Gumption, you know what a HUGE fan of Lindsay Dani (and of course Puppy Whalen) are; do you think you may be able to get me a program or poster or whatever else they may have to commemmorate? I will gladly pay for whatever it is!

Yep! I will get as much stuff as I can -- and I will sneak in my camera. I got pretty rotten seats, but they face the action. I am picking up a friend at the airport at noon (ceremony at 1:45) so hopefully I will get there in time. They are also having some kind of half-time tribute also. Don't worry about cost... mail is cheap and Lindsay fans like you are priceless! By the way, I may just change my mind. We need a new picture/pose of Puppy Whalen... that will be payment enough. Happy New Year!

I promise, a new DOGGY Whalen pic will be forthcoming. We may need to change that Puppy part.
Doggy Whalen, the soft plush toy's worst nightmare. He can rip the stuffing out of most any toy in under 5 minutes.

The tickets already on ebay - sounds like he can't get a date.

I attended the Gopher game on Sunday and the program/dinner after. It was great to honor Lindsay.
The banner was revealed before the start of the game and at half time a proclamation from the governor of MN was read.
The dinner was really enjoyable. Lindsay's high school coach, her best friend from high school, Coach Thibault, Coach Borton, and Janel, Shannon S., Shannon B. all spoke (The master of ceremonies was a local newscaster who has supported the Gopher women's program for a long time). Coach Thibault provided Lindsay with a framed picture of the SI article on the WNBA championship from the Sun organization.
The highlights of the evening for me was the video highlight and Lindsay's speech. The video had pictures of her from a baby on up, footage from her high school games and comments from her family, friends and former teammates.
Lindsay concluded the evening with a very humorous speech. It was really nice to be in attendance for this celebration.
