Dallas Wings to Host Indiana Fever at American Airlines Center
The Dallas Wings will host the Indiana Fever at American Airlines Center on June 27, a shift from the team’s usual home in Arlington at College Park Center.
The matchup is expected to feature the three most recent No. 1 overall picks in the WNBA draft. The Wings have the No. 1 selection in this year’s class, presumably the spot to select UConn’s Paige Bueckers, while Indiana has Caitlin Clark (2024′s top pick) and Aliyah Boston (2023) leading its roster.
Excitement Builds for the Game
“We are thrilled to bring WNBA basketball to American Airlines Center for the first time,” Dallas Wings CEO and managing partner Greg Bibb said in a statement. “Having the best women’s basketball players on the planet playing in a world-class venue such as American Airlines Center is truly fitting.”
The June 27 game will mark the first time the Wings will play a home game outside of their home arena, excluding the 2020 COVID season.
A New Era for the Wings
Dallas posted eight regular season sellouts during the 2024 campaign, and played to a capacity crowd at College Park Center a total of nine times including the Wings’ preseason tilt against Indiana. Playing at AAC gives the next matchup a chance to house nearly 14,000 more fans than last season.
The game will also mark a slight preview of what’s to come for the franchise as it prepares to move to Dallas permanently.
Future Plans for the Franchise
In 2026, the Wings will leave UT Arlington’s College Park Center for Memorial Arena at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas. The Dallas City Council in April approved a 15-year, $19 million use agreement for the Wings to play at the venue last April.
“Hosting this game at AAC provides our athletes with the well-deserved opportunity to be showcased in front of a record home crowd,” said Bibb. “Playing our first game in our future home city of Dallas offers our fans not only a new and unique opportunity to experience the WNBA but also enjoy a preview of what is to come.”
