For the first time in the 10-year history of the Women's NCAA Pac-10 Basketball Tournament game will be played in an NBA venue. The first two rounds of the women's events will be held at the University of Southern California's arena, the Galen Center. However, the semi-finals and title game will be held in the Staples Center. This marks a step toward equality in sports for women because this is the first time the men's basketball teams will have to share the NBA venue with the women's teams. This event is of great importance to women's sports because of the exposure that this venue will provide. Spectators, most notably young girls, may be more inspired to pursue their athletic goals after seeing members of the same gender participating in such a grand venue. This is definitely an improvement from the beginning, where women were not even allowed to participate in sports without people criticizing their femininity.
