Bay FC Announces Sold-Out NWSL Home Opener Amplifying Fan Frenzy, Following San Diego Wave’s Record Attendance
It’s another feather in the cap for soccer in the USA. With innovations par excellence, NWSL is turning into an iconic competition that is gaining upbeat responses from fans. After Alex Morgan’s San Diego Wave witnessed a record attendance, it’s time for the new arrivals, Bay FC, to make NWSL proud. After an impressive start to their journey with a win under their belt, it looks like the club from California has the back of their fans. Reports suggest that they sold out the stadium for their next game.
The announcement brings joyous astonishment, not only to the club but also to soccer enthusiasts nationwide. According to reports, its first home game versus the Houston Dash will see more than 18,000 spectators in the stadium. Set to be played at San Jose’s PayPal Park on Saturday, fans have already received suggestions to arrive early to avoid parking issues and delays in entry due to large crowds. The club also claimed to have given a heads-up to the fans to allow an extra 30-45 minutes for potential traffic delays and to avoid missing the action.
