Ep #445: How improving amenities are changing the look of the WNBA


Listen Later

Let’s get down to business. 

With the 2025 WNBA season fast approaching, this episode of The GIST of It takes a peek behind the curtain, as co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz explore how improving amenities are changing the look of the league from the inside out.  From the Unrivaled effect to the importance of facilities during free agency, one thing is clear: The WNBA’s pro hoopers want to be treated as such, and improved facilities are a major way to draw in the league’s top talent. 

And in part two, Karina LeBlanc, the Executive Vice President of Strategic Growth Development at RAJ Sports, joins the gals, speaking to the state-of-the-art facilities being built for the WNBA’s new Portland team and the NWSL’s Portland Thorns. Don’t miss this.
