March 24, 2019

Bev Yanez: midfielder of the Reign FC

Casey Catherwood: Tacoma’s Sporting PT Barnum and Ringmaster

Aaron Artman: President of Tacoma Rainiers

On episode 34, Casey and Aaron came on the pod to talk about the launch of S2. A lot has happened since then: S2 are now called Tacoma Defiance, the Reign have relocated to Tacoma, and both teams will call Cheney Stadium home while working on building a soccer stadium nearby. Suddenly, the folks in Rainiers Land are busier than ever. Folks around town are left asking “what in the hell is happening at Cheney?”

“This is the best women’s sports league in the world–right here in Tacoma.”

8:00: Bev on the state of the NWSL and the arrival of Regin FC to Tacoma.

14:00: Bev talks about the roster, the club, and the environment, and her path to professional club soccer.

24:00: What does the future of the Rainers, Cheney, and the stadiums look like?

30:00: From Casey: the most accurate description of a Rainiers game ever.

35:30: How Defiance and the Reign FC are reaching out to the Latino Soccer community?
