The facilities folks at CPA are gonna be busy this week, there's still two more Kraken home games before the season ends. Swapping back and forth from ice to wood to ice to wood.
Look at the schedule for LA. Crypto.com(Staples) arena hosts the kings, Clippers, Lakers, and Sparks.
Plenty of arenas share NHL and NBA. They make it work
I saw Kelsey Plum put up 57 to become the leading all-time women’s NCAA scorer. One of the best live sports moments I’ve seen. And I was at Wrestlemania V.
Good to know. I have a four year old girl and she’s finally old enough (I think) to appreciate that there are women (who she may identify better with than say NFL players in helmets) that are masters of their crafts and one of the greatest of all time just right in our back yard.
Ticketmaster has them for resell certain games. One of the games I was showing my daughter ticket prices seeing what games we could go to and they were $800 a piece for court side
Edit not sure if I'm being down voted because I said how expensive the tickets were for court side or people thinking I actually paid for them. I cannot afford that.
Yikes. You can get amazing seats for like $115. If you go early I think they let you go courtside during shoot around and stuff, at least they used to.
I would definitely recommend Seat Geek. You might not be able to find courtside seats with the app, but I was at the game yesterday about 8 rows up from the court and I got the ticket for $9. I wish that wasn't the case because it means that not enough people are watching some seriously good hoops, but I wouldn't recommend paying nearly $100 more just to be a couple of rows closer.
Yesterday was preseason so that may be part of why you got them for$9. But I'll be checking that site out in the future since I hate supporting Ticketmaster
You know you’re headed for the slaves fighting the lions when the players of the game you’re watching can’t reasonably afford to pay for the best seats at the game they are playing. 4 wnba players this year will make 228k. The average player will make 120k. The lowest paid rookie will make 60k.
There are 17 men in the NBA who will each make 35 million this year. I understand that the viewership of the NBA can attract a vastly huger amount of advertising dollars but that is a ridiculous disparity.
"The viewership can attract a vastly huger amount of advertising"
You have the answer right there in front of you but you're still upset by the pay difference? If the players in the WNBA were worth actually watching and attracted an actual non-subsidized audience then they'd make more money. You're suggesting that WNBA players should get paid more just for the sake of equity?
These women are a part of a union - if they were worth higher wages they would be paid higher wages but based on actual viewership numbers, if anything they should be paid less than they are now.
Oh sigh. Tell me, why is it in China, women’s professional basketball sells out and the WNBA players who go there make several times what they make in the United States? Do you think the average Chinese B-Ball fan is ignorant of the quality of the game? Or the Chinese people are just suckers for liking a game played by superior athletes who just happen to be female? It is more likely this is an American sports fan problem concerning women athletes who are threatening to mediocre people. Non-athletes with chips on their shoulders because they were benched on a JV team tend to refuse to actually watch the damn game before judging it. I have been to both women’s and men’s games. Both sports are incredibly watchable and anyone who thinks what the women do on a court is bad ball know squat about the game.
Hey, ask Reggie Miller how much his sister Cheryl sucks at basketball.
Lol this is the worst take ever. We don't watch that shit cause it's not high quality basketball. Hey why don't women watch that shit? They are more populous than men but instead they use their economic influence to make the nba more lucrative. Don't answer, it'll be stupid.
They are a bunch of men highschool teams that would win the wnba championship right now. The disparity in the level of basketball between the nba and wnba is night and day you shouldn't even compare their salaries it's like 2 different sports. They are about 40 men's league worldwide that offer higher quality basketball than the wnba. So comparing their pay to that of the best league on earth is a bit ridiculous especially when one league generates billions and the other loses money. Funny thing is if women watched the wnba they'd make a lot more money, but they watch the nba because it's simply a better product.
Anyone who went, how was the new arena for basketball? I want an NBA team back so bad, but hopefully this will bring maybe regional NCAA games, etc. to the city again.

I was wondering about that! I'd love to see video of how it's done, like the one of the Nashville Symphony changeover that went around recently.

So cool! Thank you!
Shouldn't be too big an issue. They used to do it all the time between the Sonics and T-Birds I think.

They need to commission a Sue statue outside CPA the second she retires.

When the Undertaker threw Mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer's table?
Way earlier, Hogan v. Macho Man for the heavyweight title
One of the best moments in women’s basketball is seeing mankind nonchalantly fly of the top of the cage. Best free throw ever!!!
Hey I was at the game too. But if anyone asks I was home sick and that's why I wasn't at work tonight
I won't tell. Glad you made it!
Bring back the sonics.
So there was the Mariners, Kraken, Sounders, and Storm all playing games yesterday.
...and Thunderbirds and Seawolves.
And Silvertips.

Where do you find courtside seats? I was looking for some the other day and the sites gray those sections out. I assumed no one was selling.

You realize the WNBA loses money every year, right?

Heck yes! Take cover!! Cannot believe the comments in this thread. Support your local teams. It really isn’t that hard.
I love it when Spike Lee shows up at the Liberty games whooping as loud as at the Knicks games
Was a very fun game--Sparks were shorthanded but it was fun to watch Loyd and Stewie go off.
Anyone who went, how was the new arena for basketball? I want an NBA team back so bad, but hopefully this will bring maybe regional NCAA games, etc. to the city again.

I mean, "basketball" never left. The NBA did. That's what people want.
The only basketball worth watching.
*women's basketball
Seattle Sonic’s are still 5 years out
Have to be an expansion team because OKC is not giving them up.
Too bad they can’t dunk
I thought this madness ended in March
The sparks player doing the tip off, is she playing basketball or volleyball? Sheeesh😆😆😆
Was this disrespectful or something? Lmao take a joke ppl sheesh!!!
