| - While I could totally give them 5 stars just for the energy in the arena when they are playing, or their level of play, or how they remind you how basketball is supposed to be played, or even for how awesome it is to watch kids watch them play... I'm going to focus on their front office.
As a season ticket holder, they aren't just sending me "Hey, pay for your tickets" or a "Hey, buy stuff from this office" or things like that. They have done a great job to keep us involved all through the year, even though the season only lasts about 4 months over the summer. We get emails to tell us about trades and newly drafted players, with quotes from the coach/general manager/players themselves. We get regular updates on what our players are doing overseas, where they have to play to be able to make a decent living as rookie salary is about 30K to play in the WNBA and almost no one makes 100K. Internet chats with players and management through the year to keep folks involved and excited. They really do an exceptional job in fan participation. Which is why, of course, Phoenix Mercury fans are THE best fans in the WNBA.
