Las Vegas’s WNBA training facility is sparking a revolution in women’s sports

The Las Vegas Aces opened a new facility tailored to women players’ needs. Other teams have followed.

When the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces opened a training facility in the spring of 2023, it marked a moment of change for the league. The 64,000-square-foot building is outfitted with practice courts, weight rooms, physical therapy spaces, and medical facilities. It’s the kind of place that’s considered a given in men’s professional sports but has long been lacking for women.
