The league announced the sellout of their midseason extravaganza on social media, prompting fans to react.

Las Vegas coach insists WNBA sold out arena before Caitlin Clark came

Acknowledging Caitlin Clark’s impact on the women’s basketball scene, Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon believed Clark’s only boosted the WNBA's effort to promote the game as the league sees a spike in popularity this season.

Hammon, also an assistant coach for the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, noted that her team, the Las Vegas Aces, were selling out Michelob ULTRA Arena long before Clark emerged on the scene.

“If you're just a recent follower of women's basketball, this has been brewing for a while," she said. "Women's basketball has been at this boiling point, building, building, building. And you know, our arena was sold out long before Caitlin was coming into the league.”

“I think women's basketball has just been building. Now, she's a part of the tipping point. She's coming in at this time where it was ready to tip over, and her presence has tipped things over,” the Aces’ coach added.

According to ESPN data, this season’s viewership of the first WNBA regular season games tripled last year’s numbers of 440,000 viewers. The data included Clark’s debut game, in which 2.1 million viewers tuned in.
