(PRWEB) August 11, 2005 -- www.Femmefan.com, the #1 website for women who are avid sports
fans has partnered with Ricky’s Sports Bar, www.Rickys.com, ranked by Sports Illustrated as the #2 Sports
Bar in the nation to hold the first female fan appreciation event, “Real Women
Love Sports.”
“With the growing trend of adult women sports fans the time
has come to acknowledge and appreciate this market”, Ivette Ricco, President of
Femmefan, Inc. said from her Pinole, California home. “According to national
studies, 50 million women avidly follow professional sports. Yet, the sports
industry and the media has largely ignored these fans.”
Ricco notes that,
“the NFL draws the largest number of these fans, but these women are also
following MLB, the NBA, NHL, PGA, NASCAR and all other sports.”
"Female
sports fans represent an untapped market that the sports industry should be
targeting," Ricco continues, “now more than 50 million strong. Loyal women
sports fans represent enormous purchasing power and their active lifestyles
offer advertisers and sports teams alike numerous opportunities to reach them
through a variety of marketing, advertising and promotional opportunities.
“But, thus far little has been done to target and harness their consumer
power. I’m anxious to see how female fans respond to our event, and how the
industry and local media react to this East Bay original,” Ricco
stated.
Ricky’s Sports Bar’s reputation among sports fans both male and
female is legend. “Everyone is welcome at Ricky’s and we don’t allow any
knuckleheads, women will feel right at home here”, says Ricky Ricardo, of
Ricky’s.
Ricky's has been around since 1946. Like many a famous
establishment, you just need to mention the name. When you tell a sports fan to
meet up at "Ricky's" they know all about it.
www.Femmefan.com has created
its own niche for women who are sports “junkies” by providing a different
perspective on sports. Femmefan.com is the fastest growing site of its kind on
the web.
Ricky’s and Femmefan.com are partnering to tap into the growing
female fan market and promising an evening full of fun and
opportunities.
”Real Women Love Sports” takes place on Saturday August 27 -
just in time to kickoff the NFL season.
This unique event is sure to draw
a large number of female fans, and where the women are the boys are sure to
follow.
Real Women Love Sports Night - Saturday, August 27, 2005. 8 PM at
Ricky’s Sports Theatre, 15028 Hesperian Blvd., San Leandro, Ca.
510-352-0200.
