CLEVELAND — Cleveland is riding a wave of excitement for women's sports after the NCAA Women's Final Four. Now, some are hoping to capitalize on that momentum to generate support to bring a women's professional soccer team to town.
“The support was always there,” Rita Rochford added. “They’re finally getting the recognition they deserve.” University of Iowa fan Jennifer Waldron told News 5, “Women’s basketball is here to stay and we are so excited.” Murphy also attended several Final Four events with his daughters and said it’s clear there is an appetite for women’s sports in Cleveland.
The state has already approved $1 million for a women’s soccer stadium in Cleveland. It would be the first-of-its-kind venue built through a public-private partnership, created specifically for a women’s professional team.
