Since their debut in the WNBA back in 2000, the Indiana Fever have largely operated under the radar. Despite securing a championship in 2012 and fostering talents like forward Tamika Catchings, they never quite attained the widespread recognition enjoyed by teams such as the Los Angeles Sparks or Minnesota Lynx.
However, a significant shift is on the horizon, and it’s happening swiftly.
Reports indicate that Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, widely expected to be the top pick for the Fever in the upcoming 2024 WNBA draft, has already begun to impact Indiana’s ticket market significantly.
According to VividSeats, ticket prices for Fever games have seen a remarkable surge, doubling in value compared to previous years. Additionally, insights from Cassandra Negley of Yahoo Sports suggest that Clark’s arrival is anticipated to draw a considerable fan following to Indianapolis.

Clark’s influence extends beyond her collegiate career, where she has already demonstrated her ability to shape the women’s college basketball ticket market, particularly during Iowa’s Big Ten matchups.
Now, as she prepares to transition to the professional level, it seems inevitable that her substantial appeal will continue to drive interest and excitement in the WNBA, particularly for the Indiana Fever.
