« WSJ: Disney Spending $1.1bn To Fix DCA | Main | Our "Weekend Couples Workshop" Adventure » October 17, 2007WNBA Welcomes AtlantaThe WNBA grew a new team today, welcoming Atlanta to the Eastern Conference and bringing the total number of teams in the league to 14: The WNBA will feature 14 teams in 2008, with the Eastern and Western Conferences comprised of seven teams each. Atlanta will join the Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Detroit Shock, Indiana Fever, New York Liberty and Washington Mystics in the Eastern Conference, while the Houston Comets, Los Angeles Sparks, Minnesota Lynx, Phoenix Mercury, Sacramento Monarchs, San Antonio Silver Stars and Seattle Storm will continue to comprise the Western Conference. The money factoid, however, is: The Atlanta franchise, which will choose a name, logo, colors and head coach at a later date, is the sixth WNBA team to be independently owned and operated. (Emphasis mine.) The Storm could be the seventh. In the meantime, let's keep "Oklahoma City" off the WNBA franchise list for as long as possible, huh? Welcome, Atlanta! We're looking forward to seeing you in Seattle next year. Posted by Gavin Shearer at October 17, 2007 11:35 AM. Posted to Seattle Storm. CommentsPost a commentThanks for signing in, .
