Episode Details

Portland’s new WNBA team, the Fire, is igniting the city with electric crowds and a fiery new identity — fans are calling the arena the “Fire Pit” and showing up in droves. The team’s second stint in Portland follows the legacy of the original Fire, which folded in 2002 despite strong attendance, before being revived by the Bhathal family with fresh investment and a groundbreaking joint training facility for women’s sports. With a winning start, innovative coaching, and a young core, the Fire is building momentum — even without a key player — as Portland continues to prove it’s a powerhouse for women’s athletics.
