The Atlanta Dream will be forced out of their home arena for the first round of the WNBA playoffs because of "Sesame Street."

The Dream is set to play their first home playoff game Friday night against Detroit at Philips Arena. But "Sesame Street Live" already had booked shows for next weekend at the downtown arena, so the Dream will play at Gwinnett Arena, about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta.
If a decisive third game is needed, it also would be held at the Gwinnett Arena on Sunday. The series opens Wednesday at Detroit.
The Dream bounced back from a 4-30 inaugural season to claim the second seed in the Eastern Conference this season.
