League
Since 2005, the league has played and practiced at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, where spectator attendance averages 4,000 per bout, with many sell-out attendances in 2010. MNRG claims to be the first league in the country to have a professional space for practices and bouts.
The Minnesota RollerGirls has been featured in numerous local media outlets, such as the Star Tribune, the Pulse of the Twin Cities, vita.mn, Minnesota Public Radio, and the City Pages, and were briefly featured in a Coca Cola/NASCAR national ad campaign.
As a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), the Minnesota RollerGirls are ranked 2nd in the North Central Region, as of September 26, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word league:
“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“We’re the victims of a disease called social prejudice, my child. These dear ladies of the law and order league are scouring out the dregs of the town. C’mon be a glorified wreck like me.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
