Increasing WNBA Sales by 93%, Caitlin Clark Walks Through Her Process with Tremendous Fame

The Caitlin Clark effect is in full force in the 2024 edition of the WNBA. The advent of the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer has resulted in a 93% surge in ticket sales. After the Fever recorded the second-lowest average home attendance last season with  4,067 tickets sold, Clark’s participation in any game has brought a massive shift, selling out arenas regardless of her game at home or away. One might have thought that losing the first three games might have diminished her popularity to some extent. However, that does not seem the case as it was evident from 17,413 fans in Indiana’s second home game against the Sun.

Before that, the 6-foot guard reflected on the kind of impact she was imparting in her interaction with the media after the shootaround in Indianapolis. Caitlin Clark was asked about her views on the jam-packed Barclays Center during her visit to New York in the game against Liberty. She said, “I try to take it in and soak in the moment. You look around both during the National Anthem and the celebrities on the courtside, the people that are showing up for these games, and obviously New York’s tremendous too. They have a huge part in it too.” 

Soon after she also talked about her elation at seeing the excitement the young kids, particularly girls have for her. Earlier as well, she has expressed that it’s an important aspect for her to inspire the future generation of players. Clark further added, “It’s super cool. Just hearing young girls scream your name. I try to take as much time as I can for them. No matter what the outcome is, these girls are still thrilled to come and watch women’s basketball. For me, that’s something that keeps you grounded, keeps you humble.” 

Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark decided to make another fashion statement before the impressive crowd, prior to locking horns with the Connecticut Sun on Monday.

Furthermore, Caitlin Clark was also carrying a Virgil Abloh clutch which is expected to cost around $ 1570.
