“To be here with on opening day with our squad and to see their sheer determination and teamwork was so inspiring. We win or lose, together! Big thank you to the fans, the energy in the stadium was fire!!” –Lindsey Vonn
Lindsey Vonn said she’d be in the house for the home opener when she announced she had taken part ownership of the NWSL’s Utah Royals back on February 29th and she made good on that promise.
The game broke a Utah state record for highest attendance for a woman’s sporting event with 20,370 fans packing into America First Field in Sandy, Utah. The Royals lost 2-0 to the Chicago Red Stars but the day was a success for Lindsey, The Royals and woman’s sports overall.
