A Home for Misfits: Why Roller Derby Might Be Your New Favorite Sport
With several Halloween bouts coming up, now is the perfect time to get into this inclusive, high-intensity sport.
The Bay Area has been through a lot of highs and lows in recent years when it comes to our sports teams. We lost the A's and the Raiders, then gained the Valkyries and Bay FC. But the bigger the team, the bigger the cost to see them play — Warriors tickets, for example, start at $85 for the nosebleed seats.
Yet, there are smaller, lesser-known teams and sports that are not only more affordable but also unique and incredibly fun to experience. In the Bay Area, independent and minor-league teams like the Ballers and Roots/Soul are flourishing, and there are all kinds of sports that you might not even realize have found a home here. At COYOTE, we want to introduce you to sports and regional teams that you may not have heard of, but that we think are a blast to watch.
And we're starting with roller derby.
