Fan/Game Experience Ode To The CT Sun
Written by a Liberty fan...
It began in 97 with a little MIRACLE near Disney World - a team with a dream that represented Orlando with pride and some magic. The new millennium turns and with it, a new chapter as the Sun rose in Connecticut. McWilliams, Sales, Whalen - a dynasty took shape. The Sun shined brightly, through seasons good and bad. The originals came and went and a new dawn emerged - Hightower, Bonner, ONO, Aaliyah and Jonquel - the future looked bright. When it was good, it was great. When it was bad, it was never boring. The sun may set for now, however women's basketball in New England will persevere in spite of Engelbert's dealings. The turnout this season proved that New England well and truly deserves a WNBA team. So as sure as the sun rises each dawn, let there be a new day and a new sunrise in New England very soon.
Cheers to the Connecticut Sun!

Cheers!! This was my first year being a WNBA fan. So disappointed it’s also the year the team is ending. I saw two games this season and had a blast.
