In addition to their ticketing success, the Valkyries have announced plans for state-of-the-art facilities, including a 6,800-square-foot locker room at San Francisco`s Chase Center and a 31,800-square-foot training center in Oakland. Both facilities are currently under construction and are set to open in time for the next season, further enhancing the team`s infrastructure and appeal.
The excitement surrounding the WNBA is palpable, with the 2024 season witnessing unprecedented ticket sales. For the first time in league history, three teams—the Las Vegas Aces, Atlanta Dream, and Dallas Wings—have completely sold out their season ticket plans well before the season`s start. The Dallas Wings have reported that their season ticket memberships will account for nearly 40% of their home arena, College Park Center, and have experienced a staggering 220% increase in overall ticket revenue. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream has also set a new record for single-game ticket sales during a recent presale campaign.
As the WNBA gears up for the upcoming season, free agency is set to begin, allowing teams to negotiate with free agents starting January 21, with players eligible to sign on February 1. This year`s free agency is expected to be particularly dynamic, influenced by the new Collective Bargaining Agreement and the introduction of the Golden State Valkyries, which could lead to significant player movements and strategic signings across the league.
