Caitlin Clark reflects on her college career at Iowa
Caitlin Clark might already be a full-fledged pro in the WNBA, but she still hasn’t forgotten her roots in Iowa City. And she`s planning to keep doing in Indianapolis what she’s been doing since her time with the Hawkeyes. Specifically, she wants to ensure that fans will not miss out on her games.
At an Indiana Fever news conference, Clark said this about doing right by fans who spend money to come see her play:
“I’ve always said that people are sacrificing a lot to spend money, to get you to spend resources to get here, or travel, or pay for their young daughter or young son to come and watch us or support us, or buy our jerseys, or buy whatever merchandise it is. So, I think, it’s, like, I understand it because I was that young girl, and that’s what my parents did, too.
“They were working parents. They would take time off to try and help me do something that I love to do or enjoy to do. And I always wanted some of these jerseys as well. So, I’m very aware of it, that’s why I didn’t miss a single game in college. I knew that people are coming and wanting to support and watch me.”
The former Iowa Hawkeyes star and Indiana Fever rookie played in 139 college games, ending with 3,951 points for the all-time Division I scoring record. Clark is also only the third Iowan to score 3,000 points, joining Lorri Bauman of Drake (3,110) and Ashley Joens of Iowa State (3,060) in the exclusive club.
Caitlin Clark`s crowd-drawing magic continues in the WNBA
Caitlin Clark’s well-earned reputation for being an attraction from her days in Iowa has clearly followed her into the WNBA, and the league is already feeling the effects.
For one, a handful of WNBA teams have already moved their home games to bigger arenas to accommodate a massive influx of fans for when they play the Fever. Ticket prices have also gone up 241% on average for the month of May, just because Caitlin Clark is playing, according to Sportscasting.
Not only that, but the league itself is projecting a massive increase in revenue with bigger media deals, planning to double it within the next few years, according to Forbes.
