So Much Fun
by Becky R. on 4/18/24Gainbridge Fieldhouse - IndianapolisWe were there last year for the amazing Aliyah Boston's #1 pick, and the seats were pretty full. Lots of kids, plenty of cheering for our local ladies. This year was 10 times that of last year. First of all the outdoor space was finished which allowed for more seats inside the arena. Kids and adults alike got to experience the games in the outdoor courts, which were colorful and engaging. People turned out in droves, wearing either Fever red or Iowa gold. There were photo ops with current players and the Fan Shop was packed! But it was the energy in the Fieldhouse that separated this day from others. Everyone knew what was about to happen, and yet the suspense leading up to the pick was intense - and FUN. People were smiling, laughing, cheering. Generally having a good time. Then, the Fever were "on the clock"and the crowd were on the edges of their seats. The Commissioner announced the first pick of the draft and Gainbridge Fieldhouse erupted in a massive roar they could probably hear all the way in New York. Congratulations Fever! Congratulations Caitlin! Congratulations Indiana fans! Congratulations WNBA!
