Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is arguably the biggest draw in the WNBA.
So it wasn’t a surprise when many of the Fever’s opponents moved their games against them this season to bigger venues to accommodate the increased demand for tickets.
The Dallas Wings are one of those teams looking to capitalize on Clark’s celebrity status—and possibly that of their own new star, Paige Bueckers, who the team picked No. 1 overall in the 2025 WNBA draft on Monday night—which is why the team’s June 27 matchup against Indiana was moved from College Park Center, which seats 7,000 fans, to American Airlines Center, which seats 20,000.
That game, which pits the No. 1 overall pick in 2024 against the No. 1 overall pick in 2025, could be one of the WNBA’s biggest ratings draws of the 2025 season, which is exactly why the Wings are already heavily promoting that matchup.
“Talk of the league. Talk of the city. Grab your A Night in Dallas tickets now when we face @IndianaFever at @AACenter on Friday, June 27,” the Wings announced on X Tuesday afternoon.
Though the Aug. 1 Wings-Fever matchup is still set to be played at College Park Center for now, Clark recently petitioned the Wings during an appearance on “The Bird & Taurasi Show” during UConn’s national championship win over South Carolina to move that matchup to the American Airline Center as well.
Clark believes Bueckers has the kind of drawing power she does, and she stated the Wings should capitalize on her rising star by playing more games in bigger venues.
“[College Park Center] is fun to play in too,” Clark said. “It’s a small place, it’s loud. They should move every game to American Airlines because I think Paige has that type of draw, she’ll be able to bring those fans in. I know we’re playing there, one of our games, hopefully the other one gets moved too. We would appreciate that, Dallas Wings, if you could move the other one.”
