Whalen Day has finally arrived, slightly overshadowed by the Ikea grand opening, but still a pretty big deal here in 'Sota.

"I don't know what to expect," said Whalen. "I just hope they see a good game."

The crowd will be huge, in part because it's Camp Day, but Lindsay's presence could push us to a new record, depending on walk-ups. Lynx officials are hoping that some of the newcomers will like what they see and return for more games.

"If we play really well [today] and create a good impression for people who haven't seen the WNBA before, that's a positive," said Roger Griffith, Lynx COO. "If they leave without a good impression, they haven't been here anyway, so it's not like we've lost anything. ... But hey, this is an opportunity for us. It would be great to take advantage of it."

Lindsay agrees. "I do hope the fans come back and see the team play here. It's good for women's basketball all over when people turn out."
