The first-ever joint event between two leagues showcased Portland’s explosive support, with over 20,000 fans cheering the Thorns and nearly 19,000 packing the Moda Center for the Fire. Players like Olivia Moultrie celebrated the city’s embrace of women’s sports and the shared ownership by Raj Sports, which helped make the event possible. Both teams are set to share a $150 million performance center opening in August, marking a groundbreaking step toward unity and growth for women’s athletics in the city.
