Patricia Sebold, Kalani Millsaps, and Kerry Pierce join Happy Half Hour to discuss their new concept: One of Us, a women’s-focused sports bar opening in North Park. We find out how the project came together and why San Diego is ready for it now.

From Title IX to the Wave’s record-setting crowds, they talk about the rise of women’s sports, the frustration of watching games on phones in bars that won’t put them on TVs, and how packed pop-ups proved there was real demand for a permanent space.

One of Us is slated to open this March, just in time for March Madness and the NWSL season.
