The Atlanta Dream are moving their two regular-season home games against the Indiana Fever to State Farm Arena, home of the NBA Atlanta Hawks. The games are set for June 21 and Aug. 26. 

Atlanta's regular WNBA venue is Gateway Center Arena, which is the smallest in the league with a capacity of only 3,500 seats. State Farm Arena seats about 19,000.

"Atlanta Dream fans are the best in the WNBA," team president and COO Morgan Shaw Parker said in a statement published by the Associated Press. "Their passion and excitement led us to the most sellouts in the league over the last two years and has created a demand for tickets that far outpaces the supply inside our current arena, which is why we wanted to find a way to give more fans access to experience these two games."

Indiana finished the 2023 season 13-27, but there has been a lot of hype around the Fever since they acquired former Iowa star Caitlin Clark as the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. The team also has the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston.
