Minnesota Swarm News Release


SAINT PAUL, Minn. - The National Lacrosse League's (NLL) Minnesota Swarm today announced that Big D, the popular radio DJ from 101.3 KDWB, will join the team as an in-arena host for the 2015 season at Ho-Chunk Nation Field at Xcel Energy Center.

As one of the main on-air personalities for KDWB, Big D has interviewed and worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry and his dynamic personality has made him a fan favorite among listeners.

Big D will team up with The Professor and PA Announcer Bruce Cusick to comprise the Swarm's in-arena entertainment team at The Hive. For the past two years, the Swarm has been named the "Best Arena Experience in the NLL" (via StadiumJourney.com). Minnesota will open its '15 campaign at home on Saturday, Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. against the Colorado Mammoth.

"Being a part of the already amazing Swarm organization means the world to me," Big D said. "I grew up in the Twin Cities and have always been a fan of our hometown teams. As I got into radio, my goal was to get to 101.3 KDWB and to now take that and expand myself from the radio to The Hive, feels like a dream come true."

"Big D has been a loyal Swarm supporter over the years and his passion for the sport makes him a perfect fit as our in-arena host," Swarm Co-Owner and President Andy Arlotta said. "Swarm fans are going to love getting to know Big D, and the energy he brings to the table will be a great addition to The Hive."

Big D was born and raised in Robbinsdale, Minn. His love of music and entertainment brought him into a radio broadcasting career that started in St. Cloud back in 2003. During that time, Big D also worked as an in-arena host for the St. Cloud State Men's Hockey team at the National Hockey Center. After making one stop in La Crosse, Wis., Big D's radio career brought him back to Minneapolis in 2008 to work for 101.3 KDWB. You can hear Big D weeknights on 101.3 KDWB or on the iHeartRadio app, 6 p.m. to midnight.

"January 3rd can't get here fast enough," Big D added. "I can't wait to connect with the fans as we all enjoy another fun season of Swarm Lacrosse! I really hope everyone can make it out to The Hive and have a great time all season long with us!"
