WNBA expansion team the Golden State Valkyries have surpassed 17,000 season-ticket deposits, becoming the "first professional women’s sports team to pass that mark." Those deposits “don’t guarantee that the individual will buy the full season-ticket package,” but the mark is "impressive considering the franchise doesn't yet have a roster or coach." The only team in the WNBA that averages more than 17,000 fans per home game is the Indiana Fever. Earlier in the week, the Valkyries released renderings for their practice facility in Oakland and locker room at the Chase Center (THE ATHLETIC, 9/13).
