Sunday night, CB, JAL, Tanya, their kid (redacted) and myself went to the Moody Center at the University of Texas to catch a WNBA pre-season game.
WNBA does play some games not-at-home but in cities where they know there's interest in women's sports - like my own Austin, Texas. And given my own watching of women's basketball, both college and pro, that tracks.
The game was well-attended, if not sold out. I think it holds just over 10,000 when set up for women's games (they don't open the upper tier) and I could see some empty seats, but there may have been a story there as they were in one block in one area.
This was a game between the Dallas Wings and Las Vegas Aces. Las Vegas won last year's WNBA championship, and deservedly so. And, along the way, two of my favorite players became A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray. I watched some of Dallas last year but felt they were being coached horribly - and it became an exercise in frustration. But this year is clearly a different story.
