- This take on the business side of the league is from FootieBusiness.com:
“Keeping with women’s sports, we pulled some attendance nuggets from WPS Commissioner Tonya Antonucci’s media conference call. According to her statement, season ticket sales for returning teams are up 20% and local sponsorships are up 150%. WPS averaged over 4,600 fans per game in 2009 and the league is shooting for a a 5-10 % increase in 2010. Other bits from the call include an announcement about a two team expansion in 2011 and discussion of the new stadium in the Atlanta area.”
Be back with the final round of previews.
