    Caitlin Clark brought the Indiana Fever organization to new heights in the first half of her rookie campaign.

    Before the second half of the 2024 WNBA season, the Fever announced several historic achievements for the franchise — all of which came in large part due to the arrival of Clark as the team's No. 1 overall pick.

    The Fever pointed out four key achievements in an official release on Wednesday.

    • The Fever lead the League in attendance for both home and away games with more than 186,000 fans attending a Fever home game since the season tipped off in May, the highest total in franchise history and a 265% increase in attendance from last season.
    • Four Fever home games this season have set single-game records for sales at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse Team Store, and the Team Store has experienced a jump of more than 1,000% in net sales.
    • The Fever hold the top spots in the League in social media engagement, video views, followers gained, and total followers and since April, the Fever have had more than 800M video views across platforms. The team is ranked first among teams in the WNBA, NBA, NFL, NHL, or MLB in video consumption in that span.
    • The Fever lead the WNBA with 38 national TV games and 10 of the Fever game broadcasts so far this season have set network viewership records for WNBA games on ESPN, ION, CBS, and NBA TV, including most the viewed WNBA game in 23 years.
