Kansas Citys enthusiasm for womens basketball was on full display as the Minnesota Lynx faced off against Team Nigeria in a preseason WNBA exhibition. Despite no local WNBA team, fans packed the T-Mobile Center, chanting support for the Lynx, who won the game 88-79. The event marked the first pro womens hoops game in the city since 2005, and the crowds energy was palpable. The citys passion for womens sports was further highlighted by the success of the NWSLs Current, which sold out every home game. Although Kansas City was passed over for WNBA expansion this year, the citys readiness for a team was evident, with a supportive fan base, a suitable venue, and nearby infrastructure. The game served as a reminder that its only a matter of time before Kansas City tips off its own WNBA franchise. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
