Valkyries Face WNBA Finals Venue Conflict With Doja Cat Concert
WNBA playoff games have faced arena issues for years.
The Golden State Valkyries, currently leading the WNBA playoffs 1-0 against the Las Vegas Aces, are preparing for Game 2 of the series on October 19 at Chase Center in San Francisco. However, a potential conflict arises as Doja Cat has a concert at the same venue on that date. The Valkyries, who have homecourt advantage in the finals, would host Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 if they advance.
The WNBA Finals schedule was announced in early September, with the higher seed hosting Games 1, 2, 5, and 7. The Valkyries, owned by the Golden State Group, have a strong home record and sell out their home games. Chase Center, home to the Valkyries and Warriors, does not have any major events scheduled on Oct. 17-18. The team has not yet discussed contingency plans for the potential venue conflict.
