Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? Yes, the Spirit directs a lot of marketing toward youth soccer teams as it should. But they have done a lot to get fans from different demographic groups excited about a team that is built to go on a long run of success.

Just 5 years ago, the Spirit played almost all their games at the Soccerplex. Now they are selling out a professional stadium on a regular basis. Pretty phenomenal. Michelle Kang is a true visionary who has done and will continue to do wonders for women's sports.


I agree.

Kang is amazing!!

Go, Spirit!!!!!

Local girl soccer players watching professional women in the sport they play are exactly the fan base they should want.

Which “real” fans are they not getting that you think would be better for the sport of womens soccer?

Apparently we can't have nice things in this area, even when deserved and on a professional level.

What team is doing things right?

There's plenty of that, but more to it than JUST that.

Really outstanding job by the defense.

On to the semi-finals at Audi, Saturday at noon.


Amazing turnout! Great job by their front office to get more fans out. Their last home playoff game had a little over 5k fans in 2021, now they're nearly selling the place out!
