    All aboard the Indy Fever bandwagon!

    By Tyler Buchanan,

    Ohio does not have a WNBA team, but there's plenty of time to jump on the Caitlin Clark bandwagon and support the Indiana Fever .

    Why it matters: Interest in women's sports is at an all-time high, fueled in part by Clark's record-setting college basketball career .


    State of play: Indy is the closest WNBA city to Columbus, an approximately 2.5-hour drive west on I-70.

    • The team held the lucky No. 1 draft pick this year and selected Clark after the Iowa Hawkeyes finished runner-up in the March Madness tournament.
    • While the rookie's star power is leading to skyrocketing ticket prices at Fever road games, the home game prices at Gainbridge Fieldhouse are more manageable .

    📺 Fever games are broadcast on a variety of networks and streaming services, including ESPN, ABC, CBS, ION, NBA TV and Amazon Prime Video.

    The intrigue: Indiana's roster also features two former Buckeyes in guards Kelsey Mitchell and Celeste Taylor.

    • Mitchell is the all-time leading scorer in OSU history, while Taylor was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year in her final collegiate season.
