Looks like we might get a WNBA team in Toronto after all.

After MLSE (company who owns Raptors/905) balked after not seeing a WNBA team as worth their while or money, Larry Tannenbaum (one of the top guys in MLSE whose company also owns part of MLSE) has his company going out to propose a bid for a WNBA team.

All the city needed was an ownership group and the WNBA were gonna award them a team, it was supposed to happen last year. With this news, I could see things really picking up. Wonder if that group goes all in and buys the women's hockey team too which has been a big success and just really starts pushing women's pro sports as the interest is clearly there from within the city.

The venue options will be interesting. If not owned by the Raptors ownership group, they probably won't play there (not that they'd fill that arena anyways), but could easily see them playing in the minor hockey arena (which has also been a proposed location for the Women's hockey team as it seats 9000 people) or the 905 G League arena outside the city which would attract a more family oriented/lower budget crowd and a lot more schools/camp groups going to it.

It probably would be better if they weren't in the middle of downtown.

Downtown doesn't reflect the majority of the city/greater area anymore.

Having it at the Coliseum where people can get there from out of town through the train, or just drive there and have lots of parking, would be a much better option. I've heard people say the ceiling is too low for basketball but I've seen basketball in there before (The globetrotters have been there, NBA all star celeb game there I believe, and they've held NCAA events there too).

It's very doable and I'm excited to see where this is headed. I know people involved in diff areas of sports in the city and many do believe this is long overdue.
