Hundreds of Golden State Valkyries fans packed Rikki’s Women’s Sports Bar in southwest San Francisco on Thursday morning, ready for a party to kick off Game 6 of the WNBA Finals.
The Bay Area Is All In For This Two-Year-Old Franchise
This wasn’t some afternoon casual watch party, folks. With their Valkyries tipping off against the Atlanta Dream in a potential championship-clinching Game 6, fans were showing up as early as 7 a.m. for a game that started at 9:30 a.m. Bay Area time! The actual game was over 2,000 miles away, tipping at 12:30 p.m. local time, but that didn’t stop the early birds.
Staff at Rikki’s reported 30 minutes after those first fans arrived, getting ready to open the bar at 8:30 a.m. Can you believe that dedication? A trophy was on the line for this two-year-old franchise, and their fans were absolutely bringing the energy, making sure everyone knew they were ready to witness history.
