Portland just unveiled a $150 million, 12-acre sports campus designed for two pro women’s teams—the WNBA’s Portland Fire and the NWSL’s Portland Thorns—marking the first facility ever built specifically for two women’s professional sports franchises. Beyond standard amenities like full-sized fields, gyms, and locker rooms, the space prioritizes athlete well-being with nursing rooms, a nursery, meditation zones, yoga studios, and even an underwater treadmill. Local artists contributed rotating artwork to support community ties, while owners Lisa and Alex Bhathal worked closely with players like Sophia Wilson to curate finishes for a spa-like, nurturing environment. The project is part of the “Epicenter of Women’s Sports” event hosted by Raj Sports and Nike, featuring big names like Tobin Heath and Dawn Staley, and aims to set a new standard for future sports facilities nationwide.
