A few days ago the Boston Globe had an article about the WNBA...mostly positive news
about TV ratings and about some interest shown with a few cities approaching the league about having a team. President Laurel Richie seems pretty certain that expansion will happen...though they have no timeline and are a bit concerned about expanding to a city and then having to fold the team if the support isn't there.
Two areas specifically are mentioned...San Francisco Bay and Tenn. I am 99% sure that the WNBA did have a team in Tenn...maybe Nashville? I vaguely recall that Jen Rizzotti was with Houston and was about to be traded to the Tenn. club when she announced that there was no way she would play for a team in that state and promptly retired. Admittedly this recollection might be more 'vague' than factual.
