A West Virginia woman is the first ever in history to make it to the WNBA finals both as a player and a team owner.

She won two WNBA titles with the Lynx and an NCAA title with UConn.

She is also the first former player to become a team owner (Atlanta Dream).

And yet… somehow… when we talk about great West Virginia athletes, her name is never brought up.

It’s not that I’m doubting golden state but their playoff run hasn’t impressed me. The wings without two starters still went up 20 in game 3 almost eliminating them.

They swept the aces but that aces were so hurt Kirsten bell played 25 minutes in game 1 And kalani brown who played a total of 10 minutes in an aces uniform up to that point.

I don’t think they have the offense to match us

Angels avg 18 and 8 with 2.2 blks per game facing Shakira Austin and Kiki in the first round and Jonquel jones/ stewie in the second

Jordin Canada has been the best guard in the playoffs avg 19 and 8.8 assists

And dewanna Bonner(who we didn’t have before) is adding in an extra 13 ppg

The presale started at 12 and I was watching tickets disappear in real time. I do know they don’t release all tickets during pre-sales, but the demand is insane!!!

I also noticed a significant price difference between the presale yesterday and today. The ticket I got yesterday for $135 had comparable tickets going for $200+ today.

Look back at this prime photo

Hi! I wanted to throw this out into the ether in case anyone is able to help. I am a wheelchair user and I was able to get into the presale smoothly but unfortunately they did not have any accessible ticket options available.

If anyone has any advice or a contact they’d be willing to share who may be able to assist me, I would be so so grateful.

Go Dream!!

I've seen this asked multiple times in several threads, so I'm going to make it easy for everyone.

I've rotated the map so that the arena looks like what we see on TV.

The Dream sit where Section 9 is (Red Circle).

The Valks will sit in Section 8 (Purple Rectangle).

I checked several games on League Pass (all the playoffs games so far and the games vs the Aces and Fever back in May/June) before posting this information.

IZZY IZZY IZZY, OI OI OI

I paid the small deposit for season ticket priority and got tickets to games 3 & 4 earlier today (technically yesterday). I just want to say I am simply over the MOON with how affordable the tickets were. I’m not sure how regular presale or the public sale of the tickets will be exactly but I got Game 3 section 105 row C tickets for only $178.94 each (fees included) and Game 4 section 101 row R tickets for $99.42 each (fees also included).

I was so so bummed at the idea that it would be played at Gateway and the prices could’ve been astronomical but the fact that I’ll be able to see both games and have a good view for less than $300 total is just such a blessing from my point of view.

I hope the rest of you are able to go and that you enjoy the games! Don’t sleep on the free presale! There’s a lot of hype and it might be hard fighting ticket scalpers etc if you jump in on Friday. If you can’t go I hope you can watch it at a bar with some friends.

Seriously shoutout to the Dream & State Farm for not trying to take fans to the cleaners! I’m very excited 🤩

By any chance, does anyone know which side/section both teams will be seated at State Farm Arena? At Gateway Arena, the Dream bench was near 101/102 and the visiting team was on the other end (idk the section).

Imma be Atl down for Game 1!!!!

Rhyne Howard touches on how much it means to be heading to the WNBA Finals

I signed up for the presale as soon as it was an option, but I never got the 24 hours before email or an email today with a code. Just wondering if anyone else has gotten an email yet?

Really worried about not being able to get tickets for reasonable prices outside of the presale.

Hi! Looking to grab tickets to games 3 and 4. Anyone know where the home and visitor benches will be?

Golden State swept Atlanta 3–0 in the regular season. So what does Atlanta need to do differently?

• Push the Pace: Jordin Canada needs to get Atlanta running instead of letting Golden State slow things down. WIN HER MATCHUP!
• Contain Gabby Williams: She's averaging 22.7 PPG in the playoffs. Make her work on both ends.
• Win the Glass: Angel Reese needs to create second-chance opportunities while dealing with Kiah Stokes' rim protection.
• Get More From Howard: Rhyne Howard needs to be more efficient after struggling against Golden State during the season.
• Improve Bench Production: Golden State's bench outscored Atlanta's 27.0 to 18.7 PPG in their matchups.
• Defend the Three: Golden State averages 10.4 made threes per game. Atlanta can't afford to give up open looks.

I think Atlanta has the talent to win this series, but they need to make Golden State play Atlanta Dream basketball and not the other way around.

I swear my first thought after I opened my eyes this morning was “The Valkyries will have no answer for Jordin Canada” 😂 I feel like I’ve been thinking about little else the past few days.

Is anyone else flying or travelling from a far distance? Thinking of coming for game 3 & 4 and was wondering about a possible meet up or something with other Atlanta dream fans.

To the locals - any recommendations on hotels?
Would it be smart to rent a car or take public transportation?
Are there areas we should avoid?

You can pay $27 to access an early presale (earlier than the general presale, which is free to join; the $$ is a deposit towards 2027 season tickets), but I can’t find anything about when this presale starts. Does anyone have any info???? I’ve received Ticketmaster confirmation email for the purchase, but no email from Dream.

Seeing some conflicting info, but Ticketmaster lists general sale as starting Friday Oct. 16 @ 10:00am EST and a presale on Thursday Oct. 15 @ 12:00pm. But I have no idea if this is the free presale that anyone can join or if this is the $27 deposit one.

There’s no chance of me being able to afford any season ticket package, so I paid $27 just for the earlier presale. I’m traveling outside the Eastern time zone for the next few days and I don’t want to miss it!!!! I hate that they monetized it like that, but it worked on me 🙄. BECAUSE WE ARE IN THE WNBA FINALS DAMN IT AND I WANNA BE THERE!!!! (for a non-resell amount 🤞)

Go Dream!!

Edit: initial post had incorrect info about general presale time. Also updated w/ more info from Ticketmaster.

If you are having issues getting confirmed. Close everything out. Go back and start over from the link they sent. That worked for me.
