I'm so over outdoor games as they've become marketing circus events where 99% of the people in attendance can't even really see what is going on.

That said, I endorse whatever the PWHL does, go for it and do it right.

I’d probably be in the nosebleeds streaming the game on my phone, but the vibes with 40k Torrent fans in one building would be immaculate.

I legit think with a solid ad spend the Torrent could sell out T-Mobile Park:

With the ever expanding interest in the PWHL, who celebrated 2 million fans this week, and are likely to surpass a million fans this season alone, the opportunity to host a premier outdoor event for the PWHL is waiting.

For the league, having smashed every women's hockey attendance mark and standard ever set, taking the game outdoors, where women first played hockey in the 1800s, could be the next evolution, and the only remaining pathway to continue setting new attendance standards.
