St. Paul youth who want to catch a Minnesota Lynx game but can’t afford the tickets, take note. For you, they’re free.

The city of St. Paul is partnering with the professional basketball team and Visit St. Paul, the city’s tourism bureau, to give away 500 tickets to each home game played this year at the Xcel Energy Center.

The partnership includes free tickets, meal vouchers and transportation from multiple rec centers for St. Paul youth and their families.

The “Tickets for Kids” program includes pick-up by Schmitty and Sons school buses from Arlington Hills Community Center, Battle Creek Recreation Center, Hancock Recreation Center, North Dale Recreation Center, Oxford Community Center and the Palace Community Center.

Families can register by visiting or calling any St. Paul rec center. Pre-registration is required. More information is available at stpaul.gov/lynx.

The Minneapolis-based women’s team and three-time WNBA champions are relocating to St. Paul for the 2017 season while Target Center stadium is under renovation.
