Paige Bueckers and Caitlin Clark have brought some big-time star power to the WNBA, and they\u2019ll now face off in a venue big enough to fit the thousands of fans aching to see them play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Wings announced Monday that the team\u2019s Aug. 1 game against the Fever has been moved to the 20,000-seat American Airlines Center<\/a> in downtown Dallas, the home of the Mavericks and Stars.<\/p>\n The matchup had been scheduled to take place at Wings\u2019 home arena, the 7,000-seat College Park Center in Arlington.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Wings are billing the matchup as \u201cThe Sequel\u201d in promotional marketing, since the teams played in front of a crowd of 20,409 on June 27 at American Airlines Center, with the Fever notching a 94-86 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Wings and Fever played at the American Airlines Center on June 27, but Caitlin Clark did not play.
