Connecticut Sun prepare to move to Houston after final game

Summary

The Connecticut Sun are set to relocate to Houston after completing their last game on Thursday. Their current arena, which has faced criticism for its isolation, is significantly distanced from major population centers, making it one of the most remote in professional sports. In Houston, they'll have a much larger potential fanbase with over 1.4 million people living within 10 miles of the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets. The Sun's move comes after a successful attendance record during an out-of-state event in Boston, showing potential for growth in more populous locations.
