This year in Indianapolis, the buzz around college basketball is at an all-time high as March Madness kicks into gear. The excitement is more than just the games; it’s also manifesting in a wave of new bars dedicated to women’s sports. Just a few years ago, fans had only one option, The Sports Bra in Oregon, but now several new spots are opening in cities across the country, aiming to create a more inclusive environment for female sports fans.
This Sunday, March 30, 2025, Houston celebrated a thrilling victory as they defeated Tennessee to capture the Midwest Region championship trophy. Head coach Kelvin Sampson proudly held up the trophy, beaming with pride as his team made their mark in the Elite Eight round of the NCAA college basketball tournament.
Meanwhile, in Birmingham, Alabama, the women’s tournament also showcased incredible talent. Te-Hina Paopao from South Carolina displayed remarkable skill as she drove to the basket during the second half against Duke. This match highlighted the growing excitement surrounding women’s college basketball, with many fans cheering from the newly established bars that showcase these impressive athletes.
With March Madness now in full swing, the increase in bars focusing on women’s sports is a welcome sign of progress.
