The first Sky-Fever matchup in Indianapolis was the most-viewed WNBA game on ESPN platforms, bringing in an average of 2.7 million viewers.

“As a basketball junkie myself, it’s a great moment for women’s basketball,” Atkins said. “It says a lot about how much the game is growing. This won’t be the last time we play in an arena this size.”

Chicago moved the game from Wintrust Arena to United Center.
