Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA is showing no signs of slowing down. From historic rookie-year numbers to sophomore-season buzz, she continues to be the center of attention, and now, she’s sparked another jaw-dropping moment.

“CC keeps the lights on.” It was a clear nod to Clark’s unmatched ability to draw eyes and fill arenas, whether it’s a Fever home game or the league’s biggest showcase of the year.

Another fan added, “Of course, it’s sold out; people are coming to see Caitlin.” The energy around Clark hasn’t faded one bit since her debut season. If anything, it’s grown stronger.

Some were proud just to be from the host city, like one fan who wrote:
“Of course. It’s in Indy,” a nod to both the local love and Clark’s new home with the Fever.

Clark Continues to Shape the WNBA’s future
Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, didn’t just meet expectations, she blew past them. Her rookie season brought in record-breaking viewership and packed arenas. The Fever’s regular-season finale even set an all-time WNBA attendance record with over 20,000 fans.
The buzz has only grown in her sophomore year. Multiple WNBA teams have already relocated their home games against the Fever to larger venues, including the Dallas Wings, who will now host Clark at the NBA’s American Airlines Center.
In 2024, the WNBA recorded more than 54 million unique viewers across all national networks and averaged over a million viewers for 22 regular-season broadcasts—a league record. The draft alone brought in 2.45 million viewers, the most for any WNBA telecast since 2000.
Now, with the 2025 All-Star Game officially sold out, it’s clear – Clark isn’t just part of the WNBA. She’s one of the main reasons it’s thriving.
Tipoff for the WNBA All-Star Game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
