The Dream, who normally play at Gateway Center Arena, have played playoff games at State Farm Arena because Gateway has a capacity of only 3,500 for basketball games.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“The sellout crowds and extraordinary atmosphere at State Farm Arena for Games 3 and 4 were a tremendous success, and we’re excited to give thousands more fans the opportunity to experience Game 6 with a championship on the line,” WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement.
Game 6 between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries will tip off at 12:30 p.m. ET Thursday at State Farm Arena, rather than its originally scheduled 8 p.m. start.
Per the outlet, the NBA has been looking into whether the Hawks’ game could be moved to an alternative date or even to Cleveland.
