Since their inception in 2000, the Indiana Fever has maintained a relatively modest presence in the WNBA.
Despite clinching a championship in 2012 and nurturing notable talents like forward Tamika Catchings, they have yet to attain the widespread recognition enjoyed by powerhouse teams such as the Los Angeles Sparks or Minnesota Lynx.
However, this narrative is on the brink of transformation—and the change is imminent.
According to VividSeats, the arrival of Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, widely expected to be selected as the top pick by the Fever in the upcoming 2024 WNBA draft, has already spurred a surge in ticket prices for Indiana games.
As per the ticketing platform, prices for Fever games are on track to double in value compared to the previous year. Additional data compiled by Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports indicates that Clark is anticipated to draw a significant following to Indianapolis.
Clark has wielded considerable influence in the women’s college basketball scene, evident in the burgeoning ticket market surrounding Iowa’s Big Ten fixtures. Now, she is poised to extend her magnetic appeal to the professional realm.
