WNBA gets Finals games in Atlanta moved to arena that seats 17,000 for Valkyries-Dream
Atlanta will host its WNBA Finals games at State Farm Arena, saving the league from the misfortune of the Golden State Valkyries playing the Dream in a venue with just 3,500 seats.
The WNBA has rearranged the schedule for the finals games in Atlanta, moving them to State Farm Arena, which can accommodate about 17,000 fans. This change was necessary due to scheduling conflicts with the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and a Sombr concert, which were originally set to take place at Gateway Center Arena, an arena seating only 3,500.
The Golden State Valkyries, the team hosting the games, had initially planned to have their home playoff game at SAP Center in San Jose due to Chase Center already being booked for the Laver Cup. However, they were able to move their game to Chase Center after recognizing the importance of contingency plans. The Atlanta Dream, the defending champions, welcomed the move, stating that they are grateful for the efforts made to resolve the conflicts and provide a better experience for both players and fans.
