Probably no need for an NHL team there now, as just more competition with the ever-hot WNBA arriving.

I'm pretty indifferent to the WNBA after the Fire left, but I guess I'll have a team to follow for the first time in like 20 years.

BTW, trying to figure out if the entry fee was $125 million, or if that number includes a practice facility investment.
Given my circle of friends, someone on social media suggested a shared Thorns/ WNBA practice facility, and I’ve heard worse ideas. I’ve only seen the Blazers practice facility from the outside, and since the G-League Rip City Remix started, I doubt it’s big enough to share with the Dub. The Thorns were denied access to the Timbers practice facility (which also holds the development program) from the jump.
