Last Saturday the Arizona Sting came to Minnesota for the last game of the Swarm's season. This was one of the best times I have ever had. I lost my voice I cheered so much. I don't have many pictures because I didn't have quite as good seats as last time, but I thought I would share anyway.
The final score was 15 Arizona, 16 Minnesota. Chad Culp of the Swarm was able to score the point to gain the lead with .8 seconds left on the clock. Afterwards, the Sting made claims of the Swarm cheating. The Sting claimed that Brock Boyle of the Swarm was using an illegal stick (even though he was not on the field at the time of Culp's goal.) The referees were able to prove that Boyle's stick was legal. The Sting then made claims that Chad Culp was using a stick that was an inch too short. The Excel Energy Center was exploding with noise (mostly booing the Sting.) It was insane. Anyway, the refs proved that Culp's stick was legal, and the Swarm won the game.
During the claims of cheating, both benches nearly emptied. A huge fight was about to go down but the refs (unfortunately
) broke up the disputes.
This is the Swarm during pre-game warm-ups.
The Excel Energy Center. Man it was crazy in there.
A picture during the game. Mike Kilby (#55) is in the middle of the photo. He is the Swarm's enforcer and my favorite player.
Here are some photos taken by another guy at the game.
The Swarm.
Final Score!
