The hottest sports tickets in town
Kurt Shillinger
Spare a thought for Boston sports fans. On April 25, barely a month into the new baseball season, the Red Sox fired their manager and five other coaches. Six days later, the Bruins were eliminated from the hockey playoffs. The night after that, the Celtics fell out of the NBA postseason after blowing a 3-1 series lead.聽
It鈥檚 almost enough to make this town want to cancel spring. Except for one thing. The women鈥檚 hockey team carved up the ice. The Boston Fleet posted a record-setting season, delighting sellout crowds before falling to Ottawa in a double-overtime playoff on Sunday.聽
The Fleet are no fluke. As Kendra Nordin Beato reports, venture capitalists are pouring money into women鈥檚 sports. Eight new professional leagues have launched since 2020. Deloitte predicts the global women鈥檚 sports industry will surpass $3 billion in revenue this year 鈥� an increase of 340% since 2022.
Move over, lads. There鈥檚 a new game in town.
