The Minnesota Lynx are a dynasty franchise of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They play their home games at the Target Center, where they have celebrated multiple championships. Established in 1999 as an expansion team, the Lynx wear blue, green, and white. The team's name reflects the native wild cat of Minnesota, symbolizing agility and fierceness. After early struggles, the Lynx built one of the greatest dynasties in professional sports history under head coach Cheryl Reeve. From 2011 to 2017, they won four WNBA championships (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017) behind the legendary core of Maya Moore, Seimone Augustus, Lindsay Whalen, and Sylvia Fowles. This era defined excellence in the WNBA. In the post-dynasty transition, the Lynx remain fiercely competitive, having rebuilt around new stars like Napheesa Collier and continuing to make playoff appearances, a testament to a sustained culture of winning. The fan base, the "Lynx Faithful," is knowledgeable and loyal, packing the Target Center with a championship-level expectation. The Minnesota Lynx are the standard-bearer for sustained success in women's basketball.
