Atticus Finch Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 3 hours ago, RedZone said: The bottom line is Caitlin Clark deserved much better and others before her deserved much better. No they don't and no she doesn't. The league has lost upwards of $250m since 1997. They are paid what the revenue (and the patience of the NBA) can support.

Atticus Finch Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 3 hours ago, RedZone said: In 1970-71, the NBA reported to Congress that its total revenue was only $32.3 million. That is only about $244 million in today's dollars. According to Forbes, every NBA franchise earns more revenue today than the entire NBA earned in its 25th season. So at an even earlier time in it's development, the NBA (year 25) generated roughly 25% more revenue than the WNBA (year 27). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WNBA had *16* teams at one point but had to fold a bunch of them. Usually when something grows (the NBA is at 30 teams currently), and sustains, that's a sign of financial health.

golfaddict1 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I’ll likely be pulling the trigger on NKE next week, hopefully after another dip. Clark’s Nike (sneaker) deal helps for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter has been president of the local Eugene Oregon pee wee football league for the last 4 years. She has contacted Nike (who’s world headquarters is a couple of miles from there playing field) a few time over the years about sponsorship and the best they would do is give them 15% off. I’m not saying they should give it away free but at minimum they should charge cost and throw in some damn socks. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s cute that 17K showed up to watch a women get drafted but their average of 4K per game (with 2K+ dressed as empty seats) tells th real story. Good stuff. By the way, big Womens supporter you are and all, which team do you have season tickets to? Who jerseys do you have? What type of support do you provide for the shitshow other than making stupid arguments on a message board where a grand total of about a dozen people interact with you, most of those people being your multiple personalities?!? I’m curious. what you’ve got. That’s more than I thought they averaged in the league. I was guessing 4K range. Seattle 3rd in attendance. Great fan base. Marlins should move there. Seattle Pilots once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pied Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Appears to be making an impact in Dallas as well. Looks like season tickets are ~2,500 seats. https://x.com/wfaa/status/1782529866526589334 DALLAS — The Dallas Wings confirmed Monday that it has sold out of season ticket memberships for the upcoming season -- for the first time in the franchise's history. The sellout comes less than two weeks before the team's opening pre-season home game on May 3 against the Indiana Fever. Could it be the Caitlin Clark effect? The Iowa product and No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft last week is drawing all sorts of hype heading into her rookie season in the WNBA -- some of it not even real. Regardless, it's clear that North Texas' appetite for women's basketball is growing, and that the Wings are ready to serve. Wings season ticket memberships account for nearly 40% of the 6,251 seats inside College Park Center in Arlington, the team said. The arena's remaining seats have all been designated for single-game, group, or flex plan tickets. Last week, Dallas Wings CEO Greg Bibb told WFAA that individual ticket sales for Wings games were already up 1,170%, and that overall ticket sales were up 220%. Fans interested in joining the season ticket membership waitlist can click here for more information. (With a possible move to a larger Downtown Dallas arena in the team's potential future, it might be smart to get on that list sooner than later.) The WNBA, already coming off earning its best attendance and viewership season in decades this past summer, has gotten even more boosts in the offseason following the record-breaking viewership of the NCAA Women’s Championship game between Iowa and South Carolina.
