WNBA Hits New Heights With TD Garden Sellout

  • The WNBA sold out TD Garden with a game between the Connecticut Sun and the Los Angeles Sparks.
  • The game showed the WNBA’s growth goes beyond Caitlin Clark’s and Angel Reese’s star power.
Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

The WNBA showed its growth goes well beyond the star power of Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese with the Connecticut Sun and Los Angeles Sparks selling out the Celtics’ TD Garden. Sun play-by-play announcer Brendan Glasheen joins the show to give a first-hand account of the game and what it says about the league’s rise. He also chimes in on comments by the Sun’s DiJonai Carrington that the league failed to properly promote the game.

Plus, there is movement in the lawsuits seeking to unionize Dartmouth’s basketball players and keep the NBA on TNT. We have new renderings for the Bills’ new stadium and a soccer stadium that would be the second-largest sports venue in the world. And, the Yankees got into a spat with a Staten Island Little League coach.
