Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4969951, member: 591"] I'll take an odd middle ground, I'm not sure I can claim we are big fans of the WNBA per se, although we were season ticket holders for more than 10 years at the start (NY Liberty) and had a partial package for the Mercury when we moved out here. We just follow so much that the energy flags during the WNBA season, we watch a few scattered TV games. But we are "pro" the WNBA. My take - no, I don't run into a lot of random WNBA fans, and I think some carryover exposure from Clark will help. But it depends on your friends. When we were doing Rutgers Women's Basketball, whereby fandom was always divided between "women's basketball fans who happen to be fans of Rutgers" and "Rutgers fans who do women's basketball as part of that" - the women's basketball fans were divided between "WNBA fans" and "not so much WNBA fans". But there were a number of them within that group. We were able to put together a Rutgers fan bus trip to see Cappie play, but sans the connection, it would have been tough to get enough folks. I think the future is bright, and no, I don't care if these folks don't know the history (as long as they don't deliberately disrespect it). [/QUOTE]
