WNBA teams being moved away from their home courts for big matchups in favor of other major sporting or entertainment events has been a part of the league’s history.
The WNBA Finals will take center stage this week, with the Dream facing the Valkyries. The Dream will play Games 3 and 4 on their center stage, also, at State Farm Arena.
The Atlanta Dream are back in the WNBA Finals for the first time since 2013, but State Farm Arena, their host for the playoffs, has other events lined up in the facility.
