WNBA franchise denied use of 17,000-capacity arena as maiden Finals beckon for Angel Reese

It all comes down to this – either the Atlanta Dream or Golden State Valkyries will become the 2026 WNBA champions. But there will be a huge discrepancy between how many fans will be in attendance at each team’s respective arena. Whilst the Valkyries will welcome 18,000-plus fans to the Chase Center – also home to the NBA ‘s Golden State Warriors – for Game 1 and 2 (and Game 5 and Game 7 if necessary), the Dream will only be able to accommodate 3,500 spectators.
