Ticket sales for the Chicago Sky are soaring after the team selected three star players in the WNBA draft Monday, the latest surge of support for women’s basketball nationwide.“If you’re not going to a Sky game this year, I don’t know what you’re doing,” said Karli Bell, the Chicago Sky reporter for Marquee Sports Network.
“Women’s basketball has been a thing of beauty and excitement for decades, and so as a long time fan, I could not be more thrilled that a much broader audience is discovering the incredibly talented athletes who keep pushing this sport to higher heights,” Lightfoot said in a statement. “Chicago is a big sports town and we join Sky fans who are very excited to see these three new draft picks in action.
“What the Sky did, instead of building a team to win now, they started the development for later,” Bell said. “From a business standpoint, they’ll capitalize on it. Everyone wants to see Angel.” In past seasons, Scarver never had to pay more than $75 per seat. Still, it will be worth it to watch the revamped team chemistry when they step on the court, she said.
