A tiered list of all fourteen NWSL stadiums

I’m knee-deep into writing my guidebook reviewing all 14 National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) stadiums after spending a couple months traveling, spending a day at each venue, and enjoying the surrounding city before and after the games. Soon after I started this project, I began to see

Lumen Field: Seattle Reign vs. Utah Royals

Lumen Field: Seattle Reign vs. Utah Royals
