ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever helped the Atlanta Dream crush a team record Friday night.
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has become the WNBA’s biggest name, forcing many teams to move games against the Fever to larger venues. One of those teams was the Dream, who moved their games against the Fever from the 5,000-seat Gateway Center Arena in College Park to the 17,000-seat State Farm Arena downtown.
The Dream sold out State Farm Arena, with more than 17,000 people watching Clark and the Fever beat the Dream 91-79.
That set a new franchise record for single-game attendance. The previous record was 11,609, when the Dream played in their first game ever at State Farm Arena.
The Dream will have another shot to break the record when the Fever come back to Atlanta Aug. 26. That game will also be played at State Farm Arena.
The game will be broadcast on Atlanta News First.
