The Chicago Sky continue to struggle, recently losing to the Indiana Fever, 93-78.

With the loss to the Fever, the Sky have now suffered five straight losses on the season, demoting them to the No. 11 team in the WNBA.

However, the Sky may have a 7-18 record, but they continue to fill up the stands. All eyes were on their recent matchup against the Fever.

On Monday, Chicago shared a historic announcement with fans online, explaining that their matchup against Indiana accounted for the highest attended game in Sky history, with 19,601 fans.

The Sky mentioned that the highest-attended game prior to their most recent matchup was a contest against the Indiana Fever earlier in the season when they welcomed 19,496 fans to the arena.

"Skytown," posted the official social media account of the Chicago Sky. "Breaking records."

In the most recent matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever, both teams were playing without their star players, Caitlin Clark for Indiana and Angel Reese for Chicago.

Clark has only played in 13 games this season, nursing several injuries during her second year in the WNBA.

Reese has recently been working through back issues, having been monitored by the Sky ahead of game time to see if she would be active against the Fever.

During her second season in the WNBA, Reese has posted 13.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for the Chicago Sky.

Caitlin Clark, in 13 games with the Indiana Fever, has averaged 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.

Both players may have been viewed as the main attraction for the Fever versus Sky matchup, but the WNBA's popularity proved strong after Chicago's attendance record was released.
