Aces Make WNBA History with New Exclusive Training Facility

The Las Vegas Aces, a WNBA powerhouse, recently opened its $40 million practice facility in Henderson, Nevada. At 80,000 square feet, the facility boasts two practice courts, a weight room, sauna, hot and cold pools, a family lounge, and a public team store. The state-of-the-art facility represents a historic moment for the WNBA, as it is the first women-specific training facility that is not shared with any other team.

Joining the Aces this past season is WNBA legend Candace Parker, who had previously spent 15 years of her career sharing a locker with a teammate. This marks the first time in her illustrious career that she has a locker all to herself, making the Las Vegas Aces facility a significant change in her professional life.

The new facility’s interior design and layout were meticulously crafted by a diverse team of architects, including the players’ input to create a space specifically catered to their needs. The facility’s nursery lounge has been described as an emblem of the team’s purpose, allowing players and staff to balance their professional and personal lives without compromise.

Thanks to its strategic and versatile design, the training facility will also serve as a revenue generator for the Aces. A team store and the ability to host public events and corporate functions are expected to contribute to the facility’s financial success without taking away from the needs of the players.

The Aces’ new facility represents not only a significant upgrade in training resources, but also a permanent home for the team and its business operations. This consolidation is expected to cultivate a unique and successful organizational culture for the reigning WNBA champs. This outstanding addition to the Aces’ infrastructure is aimed at further solidifying the team’s position as the best athletes in the WNBA.
