Message: [QUOTE="Huskie837, post: 5122591, member: 11074"] From the Athletic today announcing the LA Sparks are building a practice facility: “The absence of a dedicated facility used to be a common experience for WNBA players across the league; however, the recent ownership arms race has led to most teams building their own facilities. A divide has emerged in free agency between the “haves” and the “have nots,” as players target franchises with better amenities. Seattle and Phoenix opened new practice spaces in 2024, while Dallas and Chicago are on track to debut theirs in 2026. Additionally, commissioner Cathy Engelbert has made it incumbent upon expansion teams to have facilities when submitting bids. Los Angeles is merely following suit, as [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/wnba/team/dream/']Atlanta[/URL] and [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/wnba/team/sun/']Connecticut[/URL] are the only other teams out of 13 without their own practice facility or a plan to build one.” Beginning to wonder about the long term future of the Sun. Maybe that Boston game is a preview to a move… [/QUOTE]
