Game 6 of WNBA Finals Set for State Farm Arena at 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday
The change gives the Dream a larger venue with more than 17,000 seats after sellout crowds for Games 3 and 4, the WNBA said.
- On Monday, the WNBA announced Game 6 of the Finals between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries will move to State Farm Arena, tipping off Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET.
- The league worked with the NBA to secure the venue because the Atlanta Hawks had a previously scheduled game against the Cleveland Cavaliers at State Farm Arena that night.
- To accommodate the change, the Atlanta Hawks moved their game to 8 p.m., resolving what ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported was 'a weekend of nonstop frantic discussions and negotiation.'
- WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said, 'We thank the NBA, Dream, Valkyries, Hawks, State Farm Arena and USA Network for the collaboration and flexibility that made this move possible.'
- Moving to State Farm Arena allows the Dream to host more than 17,000 fans, significantly exceeding the 3,500-seat capacity of their normal home at Gateway Center Arena.
