Las Vegas, NV –The narrative that was handed to fans around the world when it comes to ticket sales, merchandise, and views of the WNBA games this season was sparked by WNBA All-Star Rookie Caitlin Clark and her fan base, and the trajectory of those who were in attendance when Clark started her collegiate career at Iowa University until she left at the end of last season.
One thing we can say for sure is the WNBA brand is open for business and the women’s teams have been selling out their home games night in and night out regardless of who is coming to town. Last night’s contest between the Las Vegas Aces and the Indiana Fever was another sold-out crowd. The Aces had to move the game to a different venue to accommodate all the fans who were looking to watch the Aces extend their four-game winning streak to five.
With all of the excitement going on and the new fans enjoying the WNBA product on the court, one thing they forgot to mention was the Las Vegas Aces who are currently the WNBA back-to-back Champions were able to sell out all of their home games for this season. The Aces have been the only team in the WNBA thus far to achieve this but have gone on deafening ears. The Aces play their home games at Michelob Ultra Arena which seats 12,000 fans.
The Aces played their game last night against the Fever at the T-Mobile arena that seats close to 21,000 and the house was packed. The fans got to see the ACES win their fifth game in a row behind Aces. Kelsey Plum matched her season-scoring high with 34 points and A’ja Wilson scoring 28 points keeping their winning streak alive and increasing it to five.
