18,000 people (!!!) packed PayPal Park on Saturday night for Bay FC’s inaugural home game, the NWSL’s new Bay Area expansion team. Although the team lost to the Houston Dash, the night was overall a huge win not just for Bay FC, but for women’s sports as a whole. 🙌⚽
•⁣
“This was everything I imagined, to be fair... but actually showing up and experiencing it the way that I saw it coming into life was more impactful than I would've thought possible. I don’t get too emotional and it hit me pretty strongly before we kicked off,” said Bay FC co-founder @AlyWagner. “What we did was start something that's going to leave a lasting legacy forever.” 🫶

@wearebayfc will play its next home game against Seattle Reign FC on Sunday, April 14. The team will be celebrating Women’s Empowerment at PayPal Park and honoring incredible women on and off the pitch. Come experience the electrifying atmosphere for yourself and grab your tickets before they sell out! 🤩 #thegist
