Opinion: Why a WNBA team in Denver is a no brainer

Related Topics: WNBA, Denver

Some people say Denver has everything — a vibrant city, access to amazing outdoor recreation, 300 days of sun, and a loyal fan base for all the men’s professional sports teams. It is the reason I live here and love to call this city home.

But what about the loyal fan base for the women’s professional sports team in Denver? Right now, it doesn’t exist because Denver doesn’t have a women’s team in a major sport, namely a WNBA team.

Women’s sports are on the rise thanks to increased investment, better media rights for national TV broadcasts, and rising stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
