MINNEAPOLIS — Long lines are expected this week outside A Bar of Their Own, where the 12 televisions will be screening March Madness. Only women’s March Madness.
And when the NCAA women’s basketball tournament isn’t monopolizing the airwaves, the bar’s TVs will blast women’s NCAA softball, women’s professional hockey and women’s Olympic qualifiers, among many other sports.
Capturing a boom in women’s sports exemplified by the University of Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, bars showcasing only women’s sports are having a marquee moment, one that’s building into a trend.
“I just knew that, like me, there were lots of women’s sports fans in Minneapolis and in the surrounding area that have tried for years to find women’s sports on TV and not get them,” said Jillian Hiscock, who this month opened A Bar of Their Own, a riff on the title of the 1992 movie
