Buzz around UtahWBB has been steadily building since the beginning of this season, buoyed by UtesCoachRob Lynne Roberts calling for more Salt Lake City residents to support the team and attend games.
. The team’s highest-attended game was the regular-season finale against Stanford, when 9,611 people showed up.
“I honestly, even growing up most times, never really would play in front of a big crowd unless it was like a big championship game or something like that,” forward Alissa Pili said. “So just the fact that our fans are consistent and the way it’s grown over time, from the beginning of the season to now, it’s been super cool to be a part of. It helped us a lot in games — the energy and the atmosphere and all that.
Thompson described the experience of attending a women’s basketball game as “incredible” — from the fan support to the in-arena announcer to the coaches and players engaging with the community during games. She also said women’s sports are on the rise lately, specifically mentioning the health of the WNBA and National Women’s Soccer League, and the popularity of skier Mikaela Shiffrin.
When Roberts was informed that there are fans of her team who became first-time season ticket holders this season, she said that felt “extremely gratifying.” But in no way is she satisfied with the growth of her team. She wants more.
