Boston will welcome the WNBA and superstar Caitlin Clark into town on Tuesday night.
WNBA star Caitlin Clark will make an appearance in Boston on Tuesday night when the Indiana Fever square off with the Connecticut Sun at TD Garden.
The game also marks the return of Clark’s teammate, Aliyah Boston, to her home state of Massachusetts. Boston was honored at the State House on Monday.
Boston, a Worcester Academy alum, was the first overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft .
This game is the hottest ticket in town, given Clark’s immense popularity. She is known for her scoring ability and long-range shooting , which have drawn comparisons to NBA superstar Steph Curry.
Nicolette Aduama, Senior Associate Director at Northeastern University’s Center for the Study of Sport in Society, told Boston 25 that players like Clark and Boston are making a huge impact on women’s basketball.
“These players have brought such energy and such viewership and such a following and such a storyline that they’ve really blown the lid off of the possibility that women can be successful, make money, do what they love in this world of sports,” Aduama said.
StubHub ticket prices for Tuesday’s game range from $100 in the upper deck to $1,600 for courtside seats.
The Fever enter the game with an 11-10 record, while the Sun are looking to improve upon a mark of 3-18.
Doors for the game open at 6 p.m. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m.
