As of mid-September, a record 3.3 million fans have attended W.N.B.A. games this year, roughly double the league’s average across the 2010s.

While the W.N.B.A. doesn’t compare in scale to the N.B.A. and other men’s professional sports leagues, it’s growing at a faster rate. Paychecks don’t typically keep up with that kind of growth.

I’m an editor at The New York Times focused on new initiatives, and I occasionally write about women’s sports. I’ve seen chatter among fans and recent coverage about how the growing popularity of the W.N.B.A. is changing the league’s culture and cost. Season ticket rates, for example, are surging in some markets.

I want to hear from women’s basketball fans: How has the growth of the W.N.B.A. (and women’s basketball in general) impacted you financially?
