Eight Members of 2014 WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury to Receive Championship Rings Tomorrow Night
PHOENIX – Eight members of the 2014 WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury will be honored prior to tomorrow’s Fry’s Food Stores Home Opener vs. the San Antonio Stars in a special pregame ceremony. The ceremony will include a presentation of championship rings and the unveiling of the 2014 championship banner that will hang at US Airways Center. Fans are strongly encouraged to be in their seats by 6:30 p.m. tomorrow evening to ensure they do not miss any of the festivities.
Players in attendance will include 2014 WNBA Finals MVP Diana Taurasi, guard Penny Taylor, center Brittney Griner, guard/forward DeWanna Bonner, forward Candice Dupree, forward Mistie Bass, guard Tiffany Bias and guard Shay Murphy. In addition, head coach Sandy Brondello and her staff will also be a part of the ceremony.
The first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive finger lights to be a part of the ceremony and help illuminate US Airways Center, similar to those used at recent Super Bowls. Fry’s Food Stores will also present the first 3,000 fans with a voucher to receive individual replica championship rings, and the first 10,000 fans will receive a commemorative Mercury championship ring t-shirt—the white out is on!
