The Washington Mystics of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) are hosting two games versus the Indiana Fever at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore. A star player on the Fever is Caitlin Clark, whose rise to stardom from her college career at Iowa to her rookie season last year in Indiana has spurred attendance records in the WNBA.
Clark was the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year and selected for the All-WNBA First Team.
A Mystics game versus the Fever in 2024 was moved to Capital One Arena and attracted 20,711 fans. The WNBA had a 48 percent attendance increase last year and the Fever led the WNBA with 17,036 fans per game.
The Mystics versus Fever games will take place at CFG Bank Arena on May 28th at 730pm and September 7th at 3pm.
The Washington Mystics were led in scoring in 2024 by Ariel Atkins (now with the Chicago Sky) and Brittney Sykes.
From a Washington Mystics press release:
The post The Washington Mystics Hosting Two Games vs. the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark in Baltimore first appeared on SouthBMore.com.The Washington Mystics announced today multiple home games will be relocated to EagleBank Arena and CFG Bank Arena for the 2025 WNBA season. The Mystics had a record-breaking season in 2024, selling out all home games.
Washington’s July 10 game against the Las Vegas Aces at 7:30 p.m. will now take place at EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia, an arena managed by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, the parent company of the Mystics. The May 28 game against the Indiana Fever at 7:30 p.m. and September 7 game, also against the Fever at 3:00 p.m., will be held at CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, the Mystics’ annual Camp Day game against the Chicago Sky on July 8 at 11:30 a.m. will also be played at EagleBank Arena, as previously announced. All four games will be broadcast on Monumental Sports Network and Monumental+.
“Fans of the Mystics live across the DMV and beyond, and we’re excited to bring the incredible experience of the WNBA closer to home for fans living near Baltimore and Northern Virginia,” said Mystics Chief Business Officer Alycen McAuley. “As our game continues to experience tremendous growth, we’re thankful we have this opportunity to allow even more fans to come see the Mystics in person.”
Washington’s agreement with the District and Events DC allows for the team to locate up to four regular season games outside of CareFirst Arena. Whereas last season those games were played at Capital One Arena, the building is undergoing a previously announced transformation with the bulk of the work being completed during the summer. Therefore, these alternative accommodations were negotiated and approved.
