Tensions are mounting across the state as the Minnesota Lynx face a potential upset of the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday in Game 2 of a best-of-three WNBA playoff series.

The team finished No. 2 in the Western Conference and if they win Wednesday night, they will advance to the semifinals, where they will face the Connecticut Sun or Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark and the rest of the Indiana Fever.

Anyone traveling through downtown Minneapolis on Wednesday will see new street signs with the Lynx logo. Additionally, Mayor Jacob Frey was out early in the morning with the city’s Public Works Department to help paint the sidewalk in front of Target Center in honor of the team.

Tipoff for Wednesday’s game begins at 8:30 p.m. at Target Center. Tickets are still available and start at around $30. Courtside tickets start at $300. Every fan in attendance will receive a Lynx rally towel to cheer on the home team.

“We have such a great fan base. Our business staff does such a great job dressing the house, making it look the way it looks, and the fans do a great job making it sound the way it sounds,” Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve said. “I think it’s really fun for our players.”

If a third game is needed, the teams will travel to Phoenix for a Thursday game.
