$150M WNBA Announcement Linked to Cameron Brink Catches Attention

The WNBA is surging ahead. A new broadcast deal from 2026, the franchise valuations going through the roof in 2025, and the crowd, viewership increasing year on year, the teams are capitalizing, building multi-million dollar practice complexes. Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever has its $78 million facility opening before the 2027 season. Cameron Brink’s Los Angeles Sparks have topped them all.

The Los Angeles Sparks have finally announced plans for a new practice facility in El Segundo, California, with a stellar $150 million investment. It is the largest investment in a single women’s team’s facility. “We’re building a place where Sparks players can be at their best on and off the court,” Sparks managing partner and team governor Eric Holoman said, “From cutting-edge training and recovery spaces to family and community areas, every corner of this facility was designed with them at the center. It reflects our commitment to our team, our fans, and the city of Los Angeles, and sets a new standard for what a professional sports organization can provide for its athletes.”

This isn’t entirely new, as Holoman had set it into motion last year. Sparks partnered with Transwestern Real Estate Services to begin the process in November 2024. The reveal was met with a thundering response from the WNBA community.

Sparks’ Bold Investment Wins WNBA Community Praise

“LA making moves,” wrote a fan. Like we discussed earlier, most of the teams in the league are already building their own facilities, while some of them already have. It is a pure difference-maker in the free agency market as players prefer teams with dedicated facilities. Sparks have practiced at several facilities over the years, including The Academy in Pasadena, Jump Beyond in Torrance, El Camino College (2023-24), and JR286 (2025).

Chicago is a major example of how a team can lose players. They are at risk of losing Angel Reese, with the lack of facilities cited as a factor. Sparks missed the playoffs by a whisker and are rebuilding around Kelsey Plum and Cameron Brink. They can’t afford to lag and lose players in the 2026 bake sale. With this, they make their practice facility a weapon in the free agent market. It has even Paige Bueckers fans wishing she were in LA! “Paige should have been a sparks menh!” wrote a fan.

Dallas is another team that announced a new $55 million practice facility on undeveloped parkland in Far West Oak Cliff, but it has been marred by construction delays. While it is slated to be built by April 2026, atleast they currently plan to. “@DallasWingsPR @greg_bibb you’re really getting one upped here big can we at least get a video of what the wings practice facility will look like?” wrote a fan.

The Dallas Wings have, in fact, posted a rendition of what its facility will look like, but it was in the form of photos, while the Sparks posted a video that gave the fans a much better experience. “Can’t wait to see this built ,” Wrote another fan. The facility is primed to be arguably the best in the league. The 55,000-square-foot facility will boast two full WNBA courts, an outdoor recovery spa pool, hydrotherapy and spa suites, nap rooms, and a naturally lit weight and training area built for peak performance. The Sparks have announced that they are serious in taking this franchise from a bottom dweller in the last few years to become among the best. A practice facility that will ensure the best experience for the players will help them get there.
