WNBA Team Lands Bigger Stadium For Game vs. Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever

We're two months away from the start of the 2025 WNBA season and the much-anticipated return of the Indiana Fever with superstar Caitlin Clark. As with last year, the added hype is leading to venue changes to meet the demand.

On Wednesday, the Fever announced that their first road game of the 2025 season - a May 22 tilt with the Atlanta Dream - is being moved from The Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia to State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The change adds an additional 13,000 seats that the two teams can try to fill.

"The Atlanta Dream will host their season opener on May 22 against the Indiana Fever at State Farm Arena. The Dream enter the season coming off back-to-back playoff appearances and an offseason that included monumental free agency acquisitions and the hiring of one of the winningest coaches in women’s basketball history. The organization aims to build off last year’s 20 consecutive home sellouts and record-breaking season-ticket growth, while elevating the profile of women’s sports in the Southeast’s largest market," the Dream said in a statement announcing the change.

"The Indiana Fever’s first road game of the 2025 season, a May 22 trip to the Atlanta Dream, has been moved to State Farm Arena it was announced today. The game was previously set to be played at The Gateway Center Arena @ College Park," the Fever said. "Tip off will remain set for 7:30 p.m. ET."
