Message: [QUOTE="HopJim, post: 5343471, member: 6986"] As mentioned before, after living outside of Dallas for 10 years, I do not remember mention of the Wings in any media, particularly TV. While my memory may be flawed, there is a lot of competition for the Dallas area sports dollar. I would rate women's basketball as outside of the top 10 for coverage or interest behind the top colleges and some of the high schools (i.e. many of the N. Texas high schools seat over 30,000 and are sold out). While Paige will help, doubtful that top coaches or GM's would want to invest their careers there. Unless Paige and K. Clark team up, not sure if there are any short-term answers. As a footnote, the Wings play in College Park Center at the U of Arlington with about 6,000 seats. Even at full capacity, this is a 15-year-old multi-use facility that is unlikely to generate the revenues needed to pay WNBA players what they aspire to. [/QUOTE]
