Atlanta Dream scramble for a WNBA Finals home as State Farm Arena dates clash
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Atlanta Dream will host Games 3 and 4 of the WNBA Finals on October 22 and 24, but the venue for these games remains undecided due to scheduling conflicts at State Farm Arena.
- State Farm Arena, which seats over 17,000 fans, is unavailable for Game 3 because of a concert and for Game 4 due to the Hawks' home opener, making it difficult to prepare the arena in time.
- The Dream previously played most regular season games at the smaller Gateway Center Arena (3,500 capacity) but plan to move all games to State Farm Arena next season after signing a multi-year deal.
- Other larger venues in Atlanta, such as Georgia Tech or Gas South Arena, are potential alternatives for hosting the Finals games if State Farm Arena remains unavailable.
- The Golden State Valkyries also faced a scheduling conflict for Game 2 due to a concert at Chase Center, which was subsequently rescheduled to avoid overlap with the game.
