LOS ANGELES – LOS ANGELES (AP) — Caitlin Clark’s first WNBA game in Los Angeles is being moved to a bigger stage.
The Los Angeles Sparks said Tuesday that their home game against Clark and the Indiana Fever on May 24 will be moved from the Walter Pyramid on Long Beach State’s campus to the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.
Two other Sparks home games – May 26 against Dallas and June 5 against Minnesota – will also be moved to Crypto.com Arena.
It is where the Sparks usually play all of their games and has a seating capacity of 19,067 for basketball games. The Walter Pyramid accommodates 5,000 people. The games were originally moved to Long Beach due to the construction of the Crypto.com Arena.
“Women’s basketball is experiencing unprecedented viewership and attendance numbers, so moving these games back to the Crypto.com Arena gives us the ability to have more fans in the stands and get our players back to competing at home,” said Sparks President Christine Monjer.
The Sparks will open the season on May 15 against Atlanta and face Washington on May 21 in Long Beach.
