2025 WNBA regular season, 29th season in its history, Friday, May 16 tips with two matches: The Atlanta Dream Against Washington Mistics and The Dallas Wings hosted Minnesota Linux.
On Thursday, Matt Ishbia, the owner of Phoenix Mercury, announced major changes for the franchise to make the games more attractive to fans and families that would participate in this year’s games.
Ishbia revealed a $ 2 price menu that featured several popular concessions that would show a decrease in large prices. Cost of a hot dog, 16 ounces. Slave water, 16 ounces. Fountain soda, chips bag, and popcorn bags have all been reduced. If someone had to buy all these items at last year’s prices, it would cost $ 38, but now, due to the fall of the price, their total cost is $ 10.
