Since Caitlin Clark was drafted first overall by the Indiana Fever, her fans can’t wait to see her in the WNBA. That could be a good thing for the league and, at the same time, a problem for WNBA teams, who are expecting an influx of Clark’s fanbase at their venues.
Indiana Pacers beat writer Scott Agness reported on X, formerly Twitter, that the Washington Mystics, after the Las Vegas Aces, will play their home game against the Indiana Fever on June 7 at Capital One Arena, which has 20,000 seats.
“Washington Mystics say “due to unprecedented demand” for their game against the Fever (Caitlin Clark) on 6/7, they’ve moved it from their arena (4,200) to Capital One Arena (20,000),” wrote Agness.
“Aces already did it, and fans in Chicago are petitioning for Sky to follow suit. #Caitlinomics”
With the WNBA already feeling the “Caitlin Clark effect,” teams around the league are scrambling to secure a bigger venue to accommodate Clark’s fans.
The demand for fans to watch the Indiana Fever rookie in action is no surprise. The WNBA is also looking to see a surge of fans watching regular-season games on TV and live streaming sites.
