The Arizona Coyotes generated $120 million in revenue throughout their final season in the NHL — the lowest amount generated by any team in the league that year. The Utah Mammoth generated an estimated $195–200 million in both 2024 and 2025.

Tua is a player whose arrival in the league was heavily anticipated when he was drafted from Alabama in 2020. He has shown positive signs during his time in Vice City, averaging 26 touchdowns a y

From the Utah Mammoth to the Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken, the answer looks less straightforward than ever.

The WNBA is hotter than ever — record attendance, soaring viewership, and sold-out arenas. But if the league wants to turn hype into heritage, it’s time to invest in the sidelines.
