Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Create wnba.py module with complete stadium data - 5a51dab (feat)
2. Task 2: Integrate WNBA module with scrape_schedules.py - f141136 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

• Scripts/wnba.py - New WNBA sport module with 13 teams, 13 arenas, complete data
• Scripts/scrape_schedules.py - Import WNBA module, remove inline WNBA_TEAMS dict and stadium scrapers

Decisions Made

• Cross-referenced shared arena coordinates from nba.py (Chase Center, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Crypto.com Arena, Target Center, Barclays Center, Footprint Center) and nhl.py (Climate Pledge Arena)
• Used WNBA-specific capacities where teams have their own venues (Gateway Center Arena 3,500, Wintrust Arena 10,387, etc.)
• Kept game scrapers inline in scrape_schedules.py (only extracted stadium scrapers for this plan)

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written

Issues Encountered

None

Next Phase Readiness

• WNBA stadium data now complete and flowing through canonicalization pipeline
• Pattern established for remaining sport modules (NWSL, CBB)
• Ready for 02.1-03-nwsl plan
