Indiana Fever's second visit to Dallas moved to American Airlines Center
After a sellout crowd watched the Indiana Fever in Dallas last month, the Wings will once again host the Fever at the NBA’s American Airlines Center — a major venue upgrade to meet surging demand.
Caitlin Clark didn’t play in the much-anticipated first matchup between her and rookie guard Paige Bueckers — a meeting that fans had long circled.
How about round two?
Due to overwhelming demand, the Dallas Wings have moved their home game against the Indiana Fever on Friday, August 1 to American Airlines Center, home of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks. The venue holds more than triple the capacity of their usual home court, College Park Center.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and the game will air nationally on ION.
But first, Bueckers and the Wings visit on Sunday, July 13 — a game that will air on ABC at 1 ET
In March, the Wings became the sixth different team to move home game against Clark & the Fever. Therefore, every WNBA team that does not play in a larger (mostly NBA) venue has moved games to accommodate the unprecedented demand.
When the Fever visited on June 27, a sellout crowd of 20,409 filled AAC. Clark, Bueckers, and Aliyah Boston are the WNBA’s last three No. 1 overall picks and all three of them All-Star starters for the game in Indy on July 19.
Including the Commissioner’s Cup championship game, an extra game on the Fever’s schedule, 42 of their 45 games this season will be nationally televised.
With this venue change, only two Fever games this season will be played in non-NBA arenas:
June 10 at Atlanta
August 17 at Connecticut
