SEATTLE - She has less than a month of experience in the world's best women's basketball league in the planet, but it feels like she has been around forever. In her first visit to the West coast as an Indiana Fever player, a total of 18,343 people packed Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena for a chance to see basketball phenom Caitlin Clark, setting a franchise record for the highest attendance in Storm history.

In five games in the WNBA, Clark has sold out every arena where she has set a foot on. Everyone wants to be part of it, with even former NBA All-Stars Detlef Schrempf and Isaiah Thomas being courtside. If you wanted a seat next to them to watch the Fever's number 22 from up close, you would have had to pay over $10,000.
