Play on the ice at Enterprise? Timberwolves are on the road, maybe at Target Center? No! Target center has a concert on Saturday night too! This could get really interesting….

Yeah, but the floor is set up for hockey now, they don’t have a non-hockey event until May. Doubt they’d go to the expense of redoing the floor for BB, then having to re-do again for the next Blues game, not for a women’s BB game Quote

Maybe. I don’t see anything scheduled at Family Arena until April 30th, but I also know that St Charles County (the owners) are putting in $13 Mil in upgrades to the place this year, including new seats and HVAC system. Where does that work stand? I have no idea.. Quote

Lord Elrond Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 From the WNIT website: The Gophers (20-15) will take on Saint Louis in the title matchup, which is set for tipoff (location TBA) at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 6, to be broadcast by CBS Sports Network. So it’s TBA arena for now… Quote
TRN Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 How much seating can they put up in the practice gym area at Chaifetz? I remember at Majerus’s funeral there was bleacher seating setup for it. Not saying that’s a great solution, but it’s something. Quote

But the bleachers are set up for a Volleyball sized arena, not basketball. Quote

Adam is just the icing on the cake for our weirdly devoted country fan base in the area. Quote

Brighton Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Rebecca Tillett is Spoonhour without the folksy personality to Lisa Stone’s Grawer. Hopefully they continue to capitalize on the current boom of women’s CBB. Quote
