    On Saturday afternoon, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever made the trip to Brooklyn for a matchup against the New York Liberty.

    Caitlin Clark mania was in full effect for this regular-season matchup.

    The Liberty set a WNBA record for ticket sales, driving more than $2 million in ticket revenue from this single game. The franchise sold out the entire 18,000-seat Barclays Center for Clark's first game in New York.

    The crowd was an estimated 20% Fever fans, per WNBA insider Bri Lewerke.

    Clark finished Saturday afternoon's game with a career-high 22 points, but the Fever were unable to notch their first win of the season. Indiana moved to 0-3 on the year after its 91-80 loss.

    Reigning WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart recorded a game-high 24 points as the Liberty notched its third win of the year. New York is now 3-0 as it heads into Monday night's matchup against the Seattle Storm.
