The Legend Is Real!

The Minnesota Legend call the Minnesota capital city, St. Paul, home. The capital has a slightly old-school, secluded vibe and is rich with history. This mirrors the history and seclusion of the “legendary” creature that ventures the forests near St. Paul and further north.  The Legend play in Northwoods Stadium.

We want a major focus of the team to be on learning and growing the next generation of SFL coaches/scouts, front office, and owners. Sure, loyalty is great, and winning is equally as great, but we'd LOVE for this to be a stepping stone for players to reach that next level. And if that next level is with Minnesota, great! But if not, still equally great! There's only a certain amount of space on a single team, so it just makes sense when a player outgrows their team or role and seeks opportunities elsewhere -- to us that's expected if you're doing things right.   

Beyond that, communication and transparency is key. We want both players and the front office to feel very comfortable asking questions of each other and sharing knowledge  (as much as is reasonable) to better each other and, as extension, the team. We also aim to provide rationales alongside any top-down recommendations like progression plans, or better yet, develop them together to achieve both their player goals and the team goals.  

Thinking of the team experience as a large part of the product that is "the SFL", we want to ensure a greater than typical investment and engagement into the team by every member of the team. We want the way this team behaves and operates to be the best in the league, and to set the new bar for what is expected by other teams.
