Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me

In this episode of Heart of a Fan, we explore why women’s basketball in Connecticut is more than just a game. Fans of the Connecticut Sun share what this team means to them, how UConn basketball culture shaped their WNBA loyalty, and what would be lost if the franchise left Mohegan Sun Arena.

“Fandom isn’t just showing up. It’s building something worth coming back to.”

Heart of a Fan is a podcast about sports fans who build, organize, and give back — from founding supporters’ groups and fundraising for local causes to keeping traditions alive and creating space for others to belong.

We spotlight the people who shape fan culture from the ground up — because the stories of sports fans deserve to be told, remembered, and celebrated.
