The Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium 175 W Kellogg Blvd, Saint Paul, MN www.theroy.org/

While The Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium has been a location for a myriad of concerts over the years, there have also been a wide variety of events of all types that have called this auditorium their home, including the Minnesota RollerGirls.

The Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium, Saint Paul RiverCentre, and the adjacent Xcel Energy Center are known for being passionate about creating the best experiences imaginable for their guests, and that includes providing a setting that is a model of sustainable practices.

2 About the Hosts MINNESOTA ROLLERGIRLS

Founded by the Donnelly sisters in August 2004, the Minnesota RollerGirls are one of the first modern leagues to host a public bout. After our first season in a roller rink in the northern suburbs, we moved on up to the Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium in the capital city of the great state of Minnesota. We are proud to be a founding member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).

We have four home teams: the Atomic Bombshells, Dagger Dolls, Garda Belts, and Rockits, that do battle every season to win the coveted Golden Skate trophy (and bragging rights, natch). Beyond our four fantastic home teams, the Minnesota RollerGirls All-Stars are one of the top teams in the world, competing in the WFTDA Championship tournaments in 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014. In addition to the skaters, a tip-top officiating crew and dedicated volunteers make up our 150-member league.

The Minnesota RollerGirls are dedicated to our local community. We invest our time, effort, and a portion of our event proceeds in local charities.
