The New York Liberty announced plans to build an $80 million, 75,000-square-foot dedicated practice center in Greenpoint, Brooklyn this week. Set to open in 2027, the state-of-the-art complex will eliminate the need for the 2024 WNBA champions to continue sharing training facilities with the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets. “The New York Liberty deserve a facility of their own: one that reflects their tremendous talent, work ethic, and ambition,” said Liberty governor Clara Wu Tsai in Thursday's statement. “This facility is a sign of our commitment to the team, to the city of New York, and to the advancement of women’s sports.” In addition to common amenities like dining, workout, and recovery areas, the facility will forgo a traditional locker room and instead provide every player with a private suite — complete with a wardrobe, vanity, and seven-foot daybed. “We just won a championship, and in the same way they expect us to level up and step up our game, our ownership group and leadership continues to raise the bar, and this facility is a perfect example of that," commented Liberty center Jonquel Jones.
