WNBA Finals return to Atlanta: Dream tickets sold out for Games 3
The Atlanta Dream are back home for Game 3 of the WNBA Finals on Wednesday night after winning Monday in San Francisco.
Game 3 was moved up to Wednesday because of a concert scheduled at State Farm Arena on Thursday. The scheduling conflict could have sent the Dream to Gateway Center Arena, which holds 3,500 fans. State Farm Arena, the Dream's new home next season, can hold more than 16,000 fans.
"We are expecting sell outs of both games," a team spokesperson said.
Fans who don't want to buy a ticket but still want to join the excitement can attend the Dream's newly announced All for Atlanta WNBA Finals watch parties. The free events will take place at bars, restaurants and gathering spaces across metro Atlanta for both home and away games, according to the team.
