Site for Game 6 of WNBA Finals Still Up in Air
The series is guaranteed to go at least six games.
The WNBA Finals' sixth game may be held at the Gateway Center in Atlanta, rather than the previously scheduled State Farm Arena, according to sources. The Dream, who are tied 2-2 with the Valkyries, could play in the smaller venue if the league does not adjust its schedule. The Dream's owner, Renee Montgomery, informed Front Office Sports that multiple parties must agree to any changes, including the league, its broadcast partners, and the Valkyries.
A potential rescheduling of Game 6 from Thursday to one of the following days could cause difficulties for broadcast partners, as they would need to adjust their primetime schedules. Another option is to advance the game by a day or two, but this would require rescheduling a possible Game 7 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Both the Valkyries and the Hawks have home games scheduled at State Farm Arena during the likely rescheduling window, which could complicate the situation further.
