“Brown was reportedly insistent that his new WNBA team be named the Rose City Royalty. If the options were that or no team at all, you’d take it. But I think we can all agree that that’s a terrible name and the Bhathals can only do better.”

😂😂 love you for keeping it real, Sean. I think I’m more excited about the new wnba team than I am about the next couple years of the Blazers.

I am so freaking excited for this. Thank you so much Sean for continuing to report on this over the last year plus.

It’s so interesting they are planning to have a HQ with both the thorns and the W team. It must be a pretty big space to accommodate both teams , several grass fields, basketball courts, and I assume Front office buildings for both staffs. If they do it right and give them state of the art training facilities it would be so unique.

This is off the subject, but has there been any news regarding tv coverage of the Blazers?

Thanks Sean. Are you planning to provide regular coverage for the WNBA team in addition the the Blazers?

That's the plan. Probably won't be much in the next year because there won't be much to report on except the name and logo and staffing/hiring and practice facility, but once they get into the expansion draft and then actually start playing, I do plan on covering the team on a daily basis the same way I do the Blazers.

20,000 season ticket deposits?! Isn't that, like, the whole capacity of the Rose Garden? How many season tickets do the Blazers usually sell?
