Don't know any myself. Not hardcore fans that schedule their time around games. Or buy shirts, jerseys, hats, etc., which is where a lot of the $$$ is. Never seen a lot of women in public wearing any paraphernalia for a women's sports team.
And if there were really a lot of women watching, they'd be making a lot of $$$, no?

Nike has built something like a $10B category for women’s soccer and their jerseys were best sellers during last years World Cup. They are definitely huge sellers. Again I think you’re thinking of the average men’s sports fan. Look at the crowd in a Caitlin clark game and you’ll see lines and lines of little girls wanting jerseys signed. You may not see this fandom in Kansas City but you’ll definitely see it painted all over Iowa. I don’t think you’re looking in the right places. Which is understandable because interest on the pro level is really in its infancy
