Nicole Weaver was celebrated as the Utah Royals Season Ticket Member of the Match on November 1, when the Royals faced Gotham FC. Nicole's enthusiasm for the Royals and women's sports shines brightly, especially during the memorable tailgate they hosted for their ski/bike progression group, RIFT. Watching the game with 40 passionate fans created a vibrant community atmosphere that Nicole cherishes.
Nicole and their friend Sabo were driven by the resurgence of women's sports and the return of the Utah Royals to Salt Lake City, leading them to immediately purchase season tickets. They've enjoyed hosting tailgates, meeting new people, and experiencing the thrill of soccer, all of which have solidified their decision to continue as season ticket holders.
Maddie Pogarch stands out as Nicole's favorite Utah Royals player. As a fellow Midwesterner and a proud queer athlete, Maddie's resilience and dedication both on and off the field resonate deeply with Nicole. Maddie's involvement in community events and her vibrant game day presence make her an inspiring figure for Nicole, who admires how Maddie and her partner Christen represent soccer, queerness, and community engagement.
