    DescriptionChristina Philippou, associate professor in accounting and sport finance at the University of Portsmouth in the UK, sees an upside for administrators who focus on inclusive and safe fan experiences. “I think that’s why women’s sport is actually growing so quickly across the board,” she says, citing soccer, rugby and the WNBA. “Part of it is the experience of the fans and what they’re selling as an atmosphere.”
