Governor Healey Issues Proclamation Celebrating WNBA Game at Garden, Calling for Team in Boston    

BOSTON – Today, Governor Maura Healey is celebrating “WNBA Day in Boston” by issuing a proclamation recognizing the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever for selling out TD Garden tonight and calling for a WNBA team in Boston. 

“Massachusetts is the birthplace of basketball. Boston is the most exciting sports town and sports market in the country, and we have phenomenal enthusiasm for women’s sports. Just look at how the WNBA has sold out TD Garden two years in a row,” said Governor Healey. “We are so proud to host our neighboring Connecticut Sun, along with the Indiana Fever, and wish them the very best in their game tonight. We’re ready for a WNBA team in Boston.” 

 The Governor’s proclamation reads:    

Whereas, Boston is the perfect home for a WNBA team; and 

Whereas, Massachusetts is the birthplace of basketball, the place where both women’s and men’s basketball was invented, and home to the world-renowned Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield; and  

Whereas, Boston is the most exciting sports town and sports market in the country; and 

Whereas, Boston and Massachusetts have phenomenal enthusiasm for women’s sports, including many professional teams the Boston Fleet (hockey), Boston Guard (lacrosse), Boston Renegades (football), Boston Banshees (rugby), and the soon-to-be Boston Legacy FC (soccer); and 

Whereas, Tonight, July 15th, 2025, the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever will play in front of a sold-out crowd at Boston’s TD Garden – the second year in a row that WNBA teams have sold out TD Garden; and 

Whereas, Massachusetts has always been a state where women lead both on and off the court and make our communities stronger; and  

Whereas, WNBA athletes remind us every day of the talent, hard work and perseverance it takes to succeed in this competitive sport, and they set an incredible example for sports fans across the country; and 

Whereas, Boston is New England’s capitol and hub, and would be the perfect place for a WNBA team, and we are so proud to host our neighboring Connecticut Sun, 

Now, Therefore, I, Maura T. Healey, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, do hereby proclaim July 15th, 2025 to be, 

WNBA Day in Boston 

Last season, the Connecticut Sun made WNBA history playing the first-ever WNBA game at TD Garden, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 69-61 in a historic sell-out. Attendance at tonight’s game is expected to rival last year’s with over 19,100 people attending the 2024 game.
