Caitlin Clark has already revolutionized women’s college basketball thanks to a legendary career at the University of Iowa. Now, it’s her turn to make a lasting impact in the WNBA.
As the first overall pick, expectations are sky-high for her debut season with the Indiana Fever. While the team is hopeful that Clark will bring trophies to the franchise, her teammates are thinking even bigger.

NaLyssa Smith envisions huge impact from Caitlin Clark
Fever forward NaLyssa Smith recently spoke about the type of impact Clark will have, even immediately.
We used to play in a barn, with six fans. Now we’re going to be playing in sold out arenas. People are moving arenas to watch us play, it’s just going to be huge for us this year.
The barn that Smith is referring to is Indiana Farmers Coliseum, where the Fever played a majority of their home games during the 2021 season and have played at in other seasons. That arena only holds 6,800 spectators.

The Fever have also played home games at Hinkle Fieldhouse, which holds 9,100 people. The entirety of the 2024 home schedule for the Fever is expected to be played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which has a capacity over 17,000.
Clark is going to draw an impressive amount of fans to games, which should help the franchise and the WNBA make more money, helping all of the players in the process.

Some are booking bigger venues for when Clark and the Indiana Fever come to town.
The Las Vegas Aces and Washington Mystics have moved their games against the Fever to bigger arenas. The numbers Clark generated in college indicates it’s a smart move.
While at Iowa, when the No. 1 pick in the draft and the Hawkeyes went on the road this past season, they played in front of sellout crowds or set attendance records.
“She helps ticket sales, so I think it’s a really great time to have eyes. She’s going to be an elite player,” Aces coach Becky Hammon said. “She has been in college. She’s done stuff in college that nobody else has. She’s going to be a great player in the W. There’s no doubt about it.
“So the more people we can pack into the building to cheer against her, we’ll take it, although I don’t know if they’ll be cheering against her,” Hammon quipped. “I guess they might be cheering for her.”
The two-time reigning WNBA champion Aces relocated their game on May 25 from the 12,000-seat Michelob Ultra Arena to the 18,000-seat T-Mobile Arena.
