Atlanta Dream moves games against Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever to State Farm Arena

“Atlanta Dream fans are the best in the WNBA,” Dream President and COO Morgan Shaw Parker said in a statement. “Their passion and enthusiasm has led us to the most sold-out crowds in the league over the past two years and has created a demand for tickets that far exceeds the supply in our current arena. is why we wanted to find a way to give more fans access to experience these two games. We are excited to work with State Farm Arena and the Atlanta Hawks to create a truly special environment.

Clark, who led Iowa to back-to-back national championship appearances, helped increase national interest in women’s basketball. She was Indiana’s No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft and played in her first professional game Tuesday.

The Dream and Fever have the final three No. 1 picks in the WNBA Draft – Rhyne Howard of the Dream and Aliyah Boston and Clark of the Fever.

State Farm Arena, which can accommodate more than 17,000 people for basketball, will give the Dream the opportunity to play in front of a record-breaking home crowd. The largest attendance for a Dream game occurred in 2008, when 11,609 fans filled Philips Arena for the team’s inaugural game against the Detroit Shock (now Dallas Wings).

All Dream season ticket holders will have their Fever tickets moved to a comparable location on the lower level of State Farm Arena. Fans who purchased single-game tickets for Fever games will have their original purchase refunded and will have exclusive access to a pre-sale window Tuesday to purchase seats at State Farm Arena. There will also be an exclusive window on Tuesday for fans who signed up for the Dream presale this spring.

Tickets for the general public will go on sale Wednesday. Fans can visit https://dream.wnba.com/statefarm-arena-indiana/ for more information.

“We are excited to welcome our loyal Dream fan base, as well as new fans, to State Farm Arena,” Dream coach Tanisha Wright said in a statement. “We want to create the ultimate home-field advantage and fill the house with red and blue as we work toward another playoff push this year.”

In April, the Dream became the second team in WNBA history to sell out their season ticket and have already sold out 10 home games for the 2024 season to date.

The Dream opened the 2024 regular season with an 87-81 victory at the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday. Their road trip continues with a match at the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday. The home opener is Tuesday against the Dallas Wings.
