The WNBA hasn’t even tipped off its 2024 regular season, and already the league is on fire — thanks to rookie phenom Caitlin Clark, who just shattered league ticket sales records before playing a single official game.

But it’s not just fans reacting to the buzz — Angel Reese, Clark’s college rival and now WNBA counterpart, had something to say… and she didn’t hold back.

Caitlin Clark Breaks WNBA Ticket Records

It’s official: Caitlin Clark is changing the game.

Multiple Indiana Fever games are completely sold out — both home and away

Ticket prices for her debut games have skyrocketed, some rivaling NBA-level demand

WNBA arenas are relocating games to larger venues just to handle the crowd

The impact? Clark isn’t just a rookie — she’s already the league’s biggest draw, and we haven’t even hit opening night.

Angel Reese Reacts: “I’m Not Surprised… We Did This.”

Shortly after the ticket stats went viral, Angel Reese jumped on social media — and fans immediately noticed her response.

She reposted one of the headlines and added:

“Y’all just noticing?? We BEEN selling out arenas. We BEEN changing the game. Period.”

Later in an interview, Reese doubled down:

“Caitlin is doing amazing, but this moment is bigger than one person. It’s the result of all of us — the rivalries, the energy, the talk. Women’s basketball is lit because WE made it lit.”

Translation?
Angel isn’t hating — but she’s reminding everyone that she’s part of the reason Caitlin even has this spotlight.

And honestly, she’s not wrong.

From Rivals to Ratings Gold

Whether you’re Team Clark or Team Reese (or both), the truth is clear: their rivalry — born in college, carried into the pros — is one of the biggest storylines in all of sports.

LSU vs. Iowa in March Madness 2023 broke viewing records

Their rematch in 2024 shattered NCAA Women’s Tournament ratings

Now? They’re both in the WNBA… and the hype is only growing

Fans don’t just want to see Caitlin shoot. They want the drama. The fire. The Reese vs. Clark energy that’s made every game must-watch TV.

The Stats Don’t Lie

Indiana Fever home opener: SOLD OUT

Chicago Sky vs. Fever (where Reese and Clark will face off): ticket demand up 400%

Clark jersey sales: #1 in the league

WNBA League Pass: experiencing a record-breaking spike in subscriptions

And let’s not forget: Reese herself is a top 5 jersey seller, and Chicago Sky ticket sales jumped after she was drafted.

What This Means for the WNBA

The Clark-Reese dynamic is about more than stats. It’s about visibility, energy, and a cultural shift.

Players are finally getting the spotlight they deserve

TV networks are battling for broadcast rights

Young girls are seeing players who look and talk like them take center stage

And at the center of it all? A rivalry that’s competitive, real, and electric.

Final Thoughts: This Is Just the Beginning

Angel Reese isn’t jealous — she’s fired up. Caitlin Clark isn’t just playing — she’s setting records. Together, they’re driving one of the most exciting chapters in WNBA history.

So whether you’re watching for the skills, the storylines, or the showdowns — buckle up.

Because when Reese and Clark share the court again?

It’s not just a game. It’s a movement.
