The Minnesota Lynx will play the Seattle Storm on Tuesday, Sept. 8 — and it will be Jewish Heritage Night at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.
For this game the Lynx offer a discounted lower level ticket for $35. The ticket price includes a post-game Q&A with WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist Sue Bird, which will take place in the hospitality room C&D on the suite level immediately following the game and will last about 30 minutes.
Regarding Sue Bird, the star guard with the Seattle Storm won Olympic gold medals with the U.S. in Athens in 2004, Beijing in 2008, and London in 2012 (which was the fifth straight gold medal finish for the U.S. women’s basketball team).
Bird, the daughter of a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother, has held dual citizenship with Israel since 2006. She played college ball at UConn; and her record at UConn in games she played is a remarkable 114–4. The Seattle Storm selected Bird with the first overall pick of the 2002 WNBA Draft. In addition to her WNBA career, Bird has played in Russia for the past eight seasons, the last six for Spartak Moscow Area.
