Caitlin Clark returns to Iowa City for a sold-out showdown

Stunning stat: This game has the most in-demand WNBA tickets on record since 2015, per Vivid Seats, an online ticket reseller.

• The average online resale price is $670, and people are traveling an average of 248 miles to watch Clark's return.
• Tickets sold out to the general public in 37 minutes earlier this year.

Flashback: In college, Clark broke the NCAA men's and women's basketball all-time scoring record.

• Clark set a WNBA single-season record in 2024 with 337 assists and recorded the first two triple-doubles by a rookie in WNBA history.

What they're saying: Clark said she made sure to warn her fellow teammates that Carver does not have air conditioning.

• "We'll see how it goes, might be a little toasty," she said during a press conference.

University of Iowa freshman Chase Nunemaker never got the chance to watch Clark play at Carver, but did get tickets to see her return, per the Daily Iowan.

• "The people that got to watch her in college get to see her again because she's probably never going to play at Carver again," Nunemaker said.

📺 Watch from home: The game will be on ESPN.

• You can also stream the game on FuboTV and the WNBA app.

The bottom line: Clark made Iowa City the epicenter of women's basketball — and she will again for one more Sunday.
