HoosierPal Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Tatum, Chaifetz and Hoffmann listed as potential owners. https://www.stlmag.com/news/wnba-st-louis-jayson-tatum/?utm_content=314926103&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&hss_channel=tw-13159712 Quote

BrettJollyComedyHour Posted October 31 Posted October 31 If we can get some backing, I'm all for it. WNBA is growing and a hot commodity right now. If the timeline was 2 years, we'd have a shot at drafting Juju Watkins or someone of that ilk for some star power. Quote

WUH Posted October 31 Posted October 31 It could be a moderately good revenue source for SLU if the Chaifetz connection resulted in games being played on-campus rather than Kiel or whatever it is called. Quote

3star_recruit Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Makes sense. Outside the obvious draw of when either Caitlyn Clark or Angel Reese is in town, St. Louisan Napheesa Collier is a perennial All-Star. I think an WNBA team would do decent numbers here, provided they draft well. BrettJollyComedyHour 1 Quote

It doesn’t appeal to me either but it would be good for the city so I’d like to see it. A lot of my buddies with young daughters are really hoping for it. For those reasons alone I’d like to see it happen. Quote

WUH Posted November 1 Posted November 1 16 minutes ago, willie said: Not big enough. Big enough to accommodate the average attendance of half the teams in the league. billiken_roy and cheeseman 2 Quote
thetorch Posted November 1 Posted November 1 3 hours ago, willie said: Not big enough. Agree with this but... Outside of last season most years only have one team averaging over 10,000 in attendance. The worst franchises average less than 5k. No Wnba team has come close to selling out an nba arena in the regular season. Quote

They averaged 17,035 fans at home and the capacity of Gainbridge Fieldhouse is 17,274. Pacers play at Gainbridge as well. WNBA average attendance number is 9,807 per game across the league. Quote

Yet I was "Bad posted" for expressing a fan's want to see her play. Get your heads out of the sand. She's a generational talent that people want to see. Knocking me for expressing such is quite befuddling Note to post: HoosierPal, no knock to you. I appreciate your homework. I quoted your post only to comment on those that bad posted me.

thetorch Posted November 2 Posted November 2 It helps that the Pacers/Fever play in the 6th smallest arena. Quote
