Supporters at the women’s professional soccer team’s matches are a veritable cross-section of the Bay Area
As the excited CEO of a new women’s soccer franchise, Bay FC’s Brady Stewart arrives early to matches at PayPal Park in San Jose, helping people navigate the stadium and answering questions.“The Bay area is such a diverse tapestry of people,” she said. “You’ve got a group of guys coming together just because the game is gonna be really exciting and really fun ... you’ve got the dads and the daughters, you’ve got the LGBTQIA+ community coming in, all together.
But when he learned about Bay FC’s imminent arrival earlier this year, Sinha said, he made the leap. Now, he’s even a member of Bridge Brigade, the team’s supporters group. The team averaged about 15,000 fans through six games at PayPal — which has a stated capacity of 18,000 fans — through the first 10 weeks of the season. That was good enough to position Bay FC as the fourth-best-selling team in the NWSL, behind more established teams such as the Portland Thorns and San Diego Wave FC.
“There’s been a lot of people that I’ve met over the course of this that have said they have not felt welcome in other places, but they feel like they belong ,” Cuadra-Cutler said. Like the private sector, The City shrinks office footprint to save money The mayor’s recent budget proposal shaves nearly $10 million in real-estate spending“I do think that there is something unique about women’s soccer in that so many people can look and see themselves represented on the field, and so they feel automatically connected to the team” Stewart said.
