The SPFL is excited to welcome the longest running professional women’s football team, our very own Minnesota Vixen to the 2019 SPFL Pigskin Classic. The Vixen will take the field in an intra-team match-up of existing players and Vixen Alumni on Sunday, October 20th during the halftime of the third game (Invaders vs. Force). The Vixen and the SPFL hope this will lead to not only a high profile exposure for the Vixen as they prepare for 2020, but that we can hope than in 2020 we are able to bring them in the Pigskin Classic with a worthwhile opponent out of their WFA ranks.
