Could Portland area WBB fans that currently attend games at Gill "scratch their itch" by heading to Moda instead? I too believe there will be uplift, but just don't know how large that population of PDX area WBB fans that drive to Corvallis is - but apparently the population of PDX area fans is large enough to sustain a WNBA franchise. Looking forward to it myself. Go Beavers!

The 2 previous women’s pro league teams failed. Hopefully 3rd time’s the charm.

I would be very surprised if the WNBA is not successful in Portland. Womens basketball and the WNBA is exponentially more popular then when Portland last had a team. Viewership has tripled since last season and attendance is up 265%. The WNBA has arrived.
