WNBA Finals Games 3 and 4 moved to Atlanta's larger State Farm Arena
The Atlanta Dream will host Games 3 and 4 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries at 17,004-seat State Farm Arena, not a 3,500-seat venue.
The Atlanta Dream will play their home games in the WNBA Finals at State Farm Arena after all. The WNBA and NBA announced that Games 3 and 4 against the Golden State Valkyries will be held there, NBC News reports.
The arena seats 17,004, according to NBC News. Fox News puts it at roughly 17,000. The Dream had been set to play at Gateway Center Arena, which holds 3,500 and sits south of downtown Atlanta.
NBC News reports the move came after several logistical fixes. The reports do not say what those fixes were.
Fox News reported earlier that State Farm Arena had booked a concert over the Finals dates. That booking had pushed the Dream to the smaller venue. The later reports do not say how the conflict was resolved.
