Summary
19,000 fans packed Scotiabank Arena for Indiana Fever-Toronto Tempo, prompting ESPN reporter Holly Rowe to film herself crying before tipoff and calling the turnout a point of pride for women’s basketball.
Toronto moved the game to the larger arena to meet demand, with the report framing Clark’s first visit to Canada as the main draw behind the sellout and wider WNBA attention.
The story says that "Caitlin Clark effect" has already pushed multiple teams into bigger venues and stronger crowds, including six clubs last season even after Clark missed part of the year.
Sophie Cunningham’s presence and recent drama added to the buzz, but the sold-out crowd was presented as the latest sign that the Fever have become the league’s biggest road attraction.
