The arena is always expected to be crowded when the Indiana Fever visit the area. The same thing occurred as Caitlin Clark and her team prepared to play the Minnesota Lynx, led by Alanna Smith. In addition to the large number of spectators in the stands, records were also broken for those who were unable to travel to Target Centre.

According to Sports Media Watch, this home game that the Lynx hosted had the most audience in the franchise’s history. It broke the WNBA record with an average of 1.57 million viewers. Since 2002, the match between Caitlin Clark and Alanna Smith has garnered the seventh-largest viewership over the whole association. Additionally, this means that 2024 will formally occupy all ten spots.The Lynx have made it to the finals six times and won the WNBA Championship to put this incredible accomplishment into context. But, the most viewers that their games ever garnered came in at roughly 778,000. That figure was almost doubled in this game versus the Fever, and their best player, Maya Moore, is not even involved.

In women’s basketball, whether it be in the WNBA or collegiate ranks, Clark has unquestionably had a lasting influence. Crowds are drawn to her dynamic style of play because they want to see for themselves how incredibly talented she is at managing the strain of being a superstar on the court. She is not, however, just chatter and celebrity. Clark is a prolific scorer as well, and the game against the Lynx was no different.
