## Resource

On this week’s Full Time, hosts Jillian Sakovits , Meg Linehan, and Tamerra Griffin are talking all things Portland, the importance of infrastructure, and the future of women’s sports. Last week, the Bhathal family, owners of both the NWSL’s Portland Thorns and the WNBA’s Portland Fire, opened a new first-of-its-kind training center that will house both teams. Coinciding with that grand opening was a conference called Epicenter that brought together some of the biggest names in women’s sports. So, what do all these big infrastructure moves mean, what makes the Rose City such a special place for women’s sports, and can this unique ownership model and special community reimagine women’s sports? ______________ HOSTS: Jillian Sakovits, Meg Linehan, Tamerra Griffin GUESTS: Lindsay Schnell, Annie Peterson PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes ______________ Reference on the show: Building the future of women’s sports, literally Inside the Thorns and Fire’s new home, Portland’s first joint women’s sports facility ______________ Get in touch:  ⁠⁠fulltime@theathletic.com⁠⁠ Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to our Youtube channel: here Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ Visit the Yahoo Women's Sports hub ⁠⁠here Hosted on Acast.
