It's not just Phoenix that is attracting the NBA and WNBA with its facilities, ESPN announces that Indianapolis will host the 2025 Women's All-Star Game. The city of the Pacers and the Fever previously hosted the NBA All-Star Game last February, but this will be a first for the city in the WNBA.
The excitement created by the Caitlin Clark Draft is obviously not unrelated to this choice. The former Iowa star has caused the WNBA audience to explode, but also the occupancy rate of Gainbridge Fieldhouse with + 265% compared to last season. The Fever (11v-15d) is simply number 1 in home attendance, but also for away games. On television, the same boxes with audience records for the WNBA each time a game of the franchise is broadcast.
The NCAA's all-time leading scorer, Clark played in her first All-Star game a few weeks ago, and unusually, the game pitted an All-Star team against Team USA. The Fever star scored 4 points and had 10 assists to help the team win 117-109.
