thanks for the update, pilight.
apparently they are looking at playing in the UIC Pavilion. It holds about 9,500, which is a good size for us right now.
Also, the team would have no affiliation with the Bulls, which is a good thing.
Getting a good team in the the third-largest market would be huge for the WNBA. I hope it works out.

I hope it works out too. It would automatically become my second favorite team.
I love Chi-town and we could get to see how an independent ownership (one that doesn't own a casino) would run the team without the backing of an NBA franchise.

It appears the league likes that size arena, after using CT as the first test.

The Hustle? Who/what would be the mascot? Debbie Black? |

Is it really any more unlikely than most of the other WNBA mascots? Do the Fever have a guy with a thermometer hanging out his mouth as a mascot? If they did, would the Mercury have to borrow it? Do the Mystics have someone with a crystal ball telling fortunes on the sideline? Let's not even consider something as esoteric as the Liberty...

The Fever guy (Freddy Fever) doesn't have a thermometer sticking out of his mouth, but I once asked him if he was a virus or a bacterial infection (because I couldn't tell)
He just belched in response.
