Athletes Unlimited turns in record attendance in Nashville

The Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball tournament at Municipal Auditorium has turned in strong attendance so far, organizers say.

Why it matters: Nashville is in the running for a WNBA expansion franchise and the community support for women's hoops is an encouraging sign.
Athletes Unlimited gives WNBA players and other pros the chance to compete in a unique style of hoops that tracks individual performances as well as team play.

By the numbers: A spokesperson for Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball says attendance and the reception from the city has been "by far the best in the four-year history of the tournament."

Attendance for the first two weeks is up 137% compared to last year in Dallas. Figures for the second week were particularly strong.

Organizers are encouraged that attendance for the second week of play in Nashville grew by 23% compared to the first week.
