Chicago Sky’s new group of all-female investors — including Cubs co-owner Laura Ricketts — raises the WNBA team’s valuation to $85 million
“Brooke and I would love to support the Sky in any way we can,” Ricketts told the Tribune last July. “We really respect, admire and appreciate all that Michael Alter has done for that team. They are one of a few teams that weren’t started in connection with an NBA team, and so the challenges that has had and the impact that has had on the team makes Michael’s investment all the more impressive and I really appreciate that.
“ has been someone who’s opened up her resources from expertise and best practices that have for us to learn from and vice versa. I think there’s a huge opportunity there on both sides.” “These projects tend to take multiple years, so it’s not going to be this season — but it’s also not going to be five years from now,” Rawlinson said. “This is definitely in the near to mid term and something that we can feel confident talking about and getting people excited about the opportunity of what the Sky practice facility will be.”
