The Indiana Fever, fueled by Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking rookie season, have secured a spot in the WNBA Playoffs for the first time since 2018. Clark’s impressive performance, combined with the team’s cohesive effort and fan support, has made this historic campaign possible.
However, the Fever’s No. 6 seeding presents a challenge: they’ll likely play their first two playoff games on the road, potentially denying Indiana fans a home playoff game. The best-of-three series will begin in either Connecticut or Las Vegas, depending on which team secures the third seed.
Despite this obstacle, Clark remains optimistic that the Fever will still provide fans with a full playoff experience. If Indiana does host a playoff game, Clark acknowledges that the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis may face seating capacity issues.
Clark praised the Fever’s devoted fan base, saying they’ve been “absolutely incredible” throughout the season. She jokingly suggested that the only way to accommodate more fans would be to sell standing-room-only tickets, as the crowds have consistently been “visibly full to the brim.” Clark’s appreciation for the fans’ energy underscores the significance of their support in the Fever’s successful season.
