The National Women’s Soccer League kicked off its 2023 season in historic fashion over the weekend.
Throughout six games on Saturday and Sunday, the NWSL averaged an attendance figure of 15,002 fans, which shattered the league’s previous record. The previous mark was 10,150 fans, set in 2022.
Before last season, opening weekend typically saw an average of four-digit numbers. That number likely will continue to grow as NWSL expands its footprint and awareness.

It took a little over a month, but we finally had ourselves a good NASCAR race Sunday at COTA.
I know I know, Fontana was pretty good. But around here we don’t grade on a curve. We need it all — fights, yelling, crashing, good racin’ and overly emotional drivers calling for their own firing.
