Tawny Fields of Las Vegas has been an Aces fan for five years. She attends as many home games as she can and has even traveled to see the Aces play in other arenas.
She told The Blast that early in the season, she was pretty “stressed out,” but things changed quickly.
“They had me stressed out,” she said. “I think that a-s whooping they got from Minnesota, A’ja said, ‘If you weren’t embarrassed, don’t come to the gym’ and that changed everything. They haven’t lost since then.”
She also said that Wilson is her favorite player, and she just knows she’s going to be named MVP this season and if she’s not, she said, “we’re gonna raise hell.”

Jesse Lewis, also a Vegas resident, attends all the home games as a season ticket holder, and said his favorite player is also Wilson. He shared his thoughts on how the season progressed.
“It started off really slow, really unpredictable. We were getting new players, we were losing players, but now we have a solid team,” he told The Blast. “We’ve got the best bench that we’ve ever had in history.”
He added that he feels the team is “100 percent better” than the last championship, so he’s looking for another championship this year. And on the topic of Wilson being MVP, he said, “give her her props right now.”
“A’ja has to have MVP,” he continued. “We know she deserves MVP.”
