The NBA has some catching up to do as WNBA’s superstar sells out stadium for a pre-season game. The league’s viewership has gone down and ticket prices are falling due to less attendance.

The women’s basketball game is growing rapidly and WNBA is becoming mainstream. Caitlin Clark has been a major factor in this growth with her breathtaking shooting and passing. Every Indiana Fever game is a sold-out and is shifted to a bigger stadium by other WNBA teams to maximize on ticket revenue.

Indiana Fever’s pre-season schedule

Indiana Fever has lined up three pre-season games in their schedule. One against the Washington Mystics on May 3 in Washington and the other versus Atlanta Dream on May 10 in Atlanta. The Fever also added a bonus game as Caitlin Clark returns to Iowa to take on the Brazilian National team at the Craver-Hawkeye Arena on May 4.
