CHICAGO (AP) — Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark
will meet in a bigger venue when the Chicago Sky host the
Indiana Fever this season, with the games being moved from
Wintrust Arena to the United Center.
The Sky announced Friday that the games in Chicago featuring two
of the WNBA's brightest young stars will now be held at the home
of the NBA's Bulls and NHL's Blackhawks with a capacity of
20,917 instead of Wintrust, which seats 10,387. The teams are
set to meet in Chicago on June 7 and July 27, with the second
game getting pushed back a day with the venue change. They will
be the first WNBA games ever at the United Center.
The Sky and Fever will also play three times in Indianapolis:
May 17 in the season opener, Aug. 9 and Sept. 5.
Clark, the Rookie of the Year last season, and Reese brought new
attention to the WNBA with attendance and ratings soaring. They
have been rivals since their college days when LSU topped Iowa
in the national championship game in 2023.
