Caitlin Clark has been one of the most prolific athletes since entering the league in 2024. The third-year pro has had a major impact on the WNBA. In addition to her record-breaking performances on the court, off the court, she’s contributed to record-breaking television viewership, mainstream commercial interest, and sold-out arenas.
Last night, three games were scheduled across the WNBA: the Washington Mystics played at Phoenix vs. the Mercury, the Chicago Sky played at Connecticut vs. the Sun, and the Portland Fire played at Dallas vs. the Wings. In total, stadium attendance added up to 24,848 fans, a shocking number, as three cities combined created the same buzz that Clark nearly averages when she plays.
