Caitlin Clark on meeting Aaron Judge and the Yankees, her WNBA break
The Indiana Fever’s rookie superstar talked about visiting the star-struck Yankees, butter sculpture rankings and more.
A year after hosting the NBA All-Star game, Indianapolis will host the 2025 WNBA All-Star game, according to an ESPN report.
The Indiana Fever, anchored by back-to-back No. 1 overall picks Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, are the biggest draw in the WNBA, selling out arenas and shattering TV viewership records.
In the 25-year history of the WNBA All-Star game, Indianapolis is one of four cities with a WNBA franchise that has never hosted All-Star weekend, joining Atlanta, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

ESPN says an official announcement is expected later this week. A Fever spokesman declined to confirm the report, but telling IndyStar, “Indianapolis has a great history of hosting events.”
“Obviously, Indiana is known as a big basketball state, and Hoosier state, so I think having the All-Star Game here for the NBA is awesome,” WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said back in February. “I’ve been experiencing Indiana, and other than the snow yesterday, it’s amazing. The city, from when you land at the airport, the branding when you drive here from the airport, when you arrive at your hotel, the branding I think has been impeccable. Certainly, in my four years at the league, it’s amazing.”
The Fever had three All-Stars this season (Clark, Boston and Kelsey Mitchell) and sit in seventh place in the WNBA standings, hoping to snap a 7-year playoff drought.
At the mid-season break, the Fever were the league’s most-viewed team with 10 broadcasts that broke viewership records. The Fever saw a 264.6% increase in ticket sales (year over year). Indiana is the top WNBA team in total home and away attendance.
The WNBA All-Star game is yet another major sporting event for the city’s downtown, following the NBA All-Star game and U.S. Olympic swim trials. Add it to the Big Ten Championship game staying through 2028, Big Ten men’s and women’s basketball tournaments returning and future men’s (2026) and women’s (2028) Final Fours.
The 2024 NBA All-Star Game generated $290 million in economic revenue and $112 million in media exposure for Indianapolis and Central Indiana, according to a report released by Pacers Sports & Entertainment.

Colts free agent running back signs with Atlanta Falcons
ATLANTA (WISH) — Tyler Goodson, who played for the Indianapolis Colts the past three seasons, is joining a new team.
The Atlanta Falcons announced on Thursday that they have signed the free agent running back.
Goodson appeared in 33 games during his time in Indy, rushing for a total of 234 yards. He had one rushing touchdown back in 2024.
The rushing touchdown came during the Colts’ win over the Miami Dolphins that season. The rushing touchdown in that matchup was Goodson’s first career NFL touchdown during the regular season.
“For me it was a lot more exciting,” Goodson said following that game. “A moment I’ve been waiting for and it’s just surreal for me to be in this position. And I just thank God for it.”
Goodson also had 103 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown with the Colts. The receiving touchdown also came during the 2024 season, in a loss to the Buffalo Bills.
The move to the Falcons will be a homecoming of sorts for Goodson, who is a native of Suwanee, Georgia. He also attended North Gwinnett High School.
