MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Lynx today announced that the team is hosting a pregame block party for its fans prior to Sunday's Game 1 of the 2011 WNBA Finals presented by Boost Mobile. The official Lynx block party will be held on Target Plaza, in front of the Gate 34 entrance, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Game 1 of the 2011 WNBA Finals between the Lynx and the Atlanta Dream will tip off at 7:30 p.m.

The Lynx block party will feature a musical performance by one of the Twin Cities most popular party bands Urban Myth, who plays everything from classic rock and funk to current pop and R&B. Additionally, there will be food and beverages available as well as fan interactives, face painting and poster making.

"We're thrilled with the opportunity to provide Lynx fans with a block party before Game 1 of the 2011 WNBA Finals," said Conrad Smith, Lynx chief operating officer. "Lynx fans are the best in the WNBA and I know that they will be ready to kick off the festivities of the WNBA Finals early Sunday evening at the block party and carry that energy into Target Center at game time."
