Mask off: Caitlin Clark's epic impact on the WNBA's ball game
Indiana Fever tickets featuring Caitlin Clark experiencing unprecedented demand on StubHub, showcasing significant sales figures.
Get the popcorn ready, sports fanatics! This season, Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever is turning heads faster than you can say "slam dunk."
After breaking records with a rookie season to remember, this little superstar is generating an avalanche of fans to her games, one ticker sale at a time.
Last season, the Indiana Fever saw a staggering 90X surge in StubHub ticket sales, compared to the year before. And it seems like this trend ain't slowing down, with Clark's games now commanding the 10 most coveted tickets across the platform.
That's right. Three of those most in-demand games? They're all against Angel Reese and the dazzling Chicago Sky.
Smell that? That's the whiff of competition, baby!
Topping the list of the upcoming season's must-see events is the Fever's showdown against Connecticut's Sun on July 15, traditionally held at the Mohegan Sun Arena (seating a cozy 10,000). But for this contest, the Fever will invade TD Garden in Boston, with its seating capacity of a whopping 19,580.
And here's the surprise: Only one of those top 10 games is a home game! That's right, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are gracing Indiana with their presence on May 17. Every other game in the top 10? All moved to arena giants to accommodate the ravenous demand.
But don't worry, there's no need for the Golden State Valkyries to feel left out. Their season's most sought-after game is the Fever rampaging into town on June 19. Those sales? More than double the sales of their second-best game - the Valkyries hosting the Sparks for their grand debut.
Young phenoms are popping up all over the place, and none more so than Paige Bueckers, who elevated her UConn career with that electrifying national championship. Bueckers, the top pick this year, has nearly quadrupled the Dallas Wings' ticket sales from last year, and site searches for the Wings surged a staggering 351% on StubHub within 24 hours of her drafting.
Clark's presence in the games has instilled a buzz at both college and professional levels. Her final three college games broke the record for the most-watched women's college basketball games ever. What's more, regular-season games featuring her often outdrew WNBA playoff games! And her matchups with Angel Reese simply refuse to go unnoticed, raking in some of the most-viewed WNBA games in history.
So, there you have it. Caitlin Clark is not just dominating the WNBA - she's turning it upside down, and we couldn't be more here for it. Stay tuned, folks, because this is just the beginning.
