    WNBA Fans Begging Dallas Wings to Announce Change Before Caitlin Clark Showdown

    The Dallas Wings sold out Wednesday night's home game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever two days before tipoff.

    Arlington, Texas' College Park Center can hold up to 7,000 fans — a number that could certainly be eclipsed with Clark in town.

    Following the Wings' sellout announcement on Monday, fans flooded the comments with a strong call to action.

    WNBA fans want the Wings to move Wednesday's game to Dallas' American Airlines Center for increased seating.

    "It’s not too late to move the game to American Airlines Center," one fan wrote.

    "Cool. Congrats. But like, CC played in arenas larger than yours when she was literally in high school. If only there were some sort of large sports arena in Dallas you could hold the game at instead so you could ask more Tix, make more $. I guess we'll never know," another said.

    "7000 fans? She probably draws more fans for autograph signings. Needs a larger venue," another added.

    "Why has the venue not been moved? why do we keep leaving money on the table," another asked.

    An arena move is not unprecedented for Clark's rookie season. When the Fever came to Las Vegas to play the reigning-champion Aces earlier this month, the franchise moved the game from Michelob ULTRA Arena to T-Mobile Arena in order to accommodate the influx of fans coming to see the WNBA's No. 1 overall pick in action.

    Clark helped the Aces sellout T-Mobile Arena, which houses more than 18,000 fans.

    Wednesday night's game at College Park Center will tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
