Atlanta Dream overturn WNBA Finals nightmare with State Farm Arena news
Where are the Atlanta Dream playing Game 3 and Game 4 of the WNBA Finals?
The Atlanta Dream have secured their spot in the WNBA Finals for the first time since 2004. The drama surrounding the venue for Games 3 and 4 was resolved when it was announced that these matches will be played at State Farm Arena, home to the Atlanta Hawks. This decision came after scheduling conflicts had initially placed these games at Gateway Center Arena, which had a smaller capacity compared to the 17,000-seat State Farm Arena.
State Farm Arena, with its larger capacity, will provide the Dream with an ideal platform to showcase their skills against the formidable Golden State Valkyries. The Valkyries boast one of the best home-court advantages in the league, with their home arena, Chase Center (Ballhalla), holding over 18,000 fans, compared to State Farm Arena's 17,000.
The Dream had an impressive 8-0 record at State Farm Arena during the 2026 regular season and playoffs, including sweeping the Washington Mystics and dominating the New York Liberty. This home advantage will be crucial as they face off against a tough Golden State squad in these high-stakes games.
