#1) There will be a hair, nail, and makeup studio

WNBA players often operate on tight schedules once the season kicks off. This cuts into their self-care time that they might’ve spent taking care of their body. However, New York Liberty players won’t have this problem starting from 2027. Their new state-of-the-art arena will feature a hair, nail, and makeup studio for the players, ensuring that they can get the care they need in the middle of the season.

Instead of going with a traditional locker room, the Liberty is going a step beyond for their players. The locker rooms for their new arena have been described as revolutionary and will come with the following features:

  • Private suite for each player
  • Full-height wardrobes
  • Sneaker storage
  • Vanity with face-illuminating mirrors
  • A seven-foot daybed for recovery and lounging

This approach will likely go a long way towards providing their players the space and comfort they need in a locker room.
