  "summary": "The Atlanta Dream were initially expected to play their WNBA Finals home games at their regular-season venue, State Farm Arena, in downtown Atlanta. However, due to the arena's limited capacity and unavailability for certain playoff games, the team will now have to host the championship series at the smaller Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. With a seating capacity of just 3,500, Gateway Center Arena is significantly smaller than State Farm Arena, which has a capacity of 16,888 for basketball games. Despite the team's attempts to secure a larger venue for the finals, they have not been successful, and they will now play their Games 3, 4, and 6 at the smaller facility.",
