Ladies Court - Women’s Basketball News and Analysis

You people love your Storm

by Joe on January 25th, 2008

First off, a hat tip to the Women’s Hoops Blog for this find.

Ain’t this grand? According to an article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, season ticket sales for the Storm since the announcement of new ownership for the WNBA franchise, have already exceeded last season’s total. Granted, that has to be a valley since ownership wasn’t solid and the threat of moving was in front of all their fans, but it’s still impressive no matter how you slice it.

Anne Levinson (pictured above), one of the new owners, reflected on the past few weeks.

“It’s been tremendous,” Levinson said. “We’ve been getting cards and handwritten notes and e-mails and phone messages from everyone from little kids to grandparents and dads. I’ve worked on a lot of issues in my day, but this has been very lovely.

“It’s a challenging thing that we’re doing, so it’s nice to see that it’s well received.”

All the changes happening to Seattle recently could indeed spark a renaissance leading back to a title run.
